The heat transfer effectiveness (HTE) is a required input for a Cool analysis that specifies the heat extraction efficiency of mold surfaces, including cooling channels, baffles, bubblers, or connectors.
An HTE value of 1 indicates that the mold feature only absorbs heat, while an HTE value of 0 indicates that the feature absorbs no heat from the mold.
- Click on the mold feature to which you want to assign an HTE value.
- Right-click on the highlighted mold feature and select
Properties from the drop-down menu.
If the mold feature has not yet been assigned the appropriate property, click
() and create a
New mold feature property for it.
- In the Heat Transfer Effectiveness box, enter the required HTE value.
- Click OK to close the dialog.
