In this task, you interpret the Temperature, mold-cavity interface (averaged) result.
-
Ensure that only the Mold Tetras layer is on.
-
Select Temperature, mold-cavity interface (averaged) form the Tasks panel Results list.
Figure 1: Temperature, mold-cavity interface (averaged)
This result represents the cycle averaged mold temperature at the mold surface or plastic/metal interface. The variation in temperature for an amorphous material like the ABS used here, is best when within +/- 10 C of the target temperature.
In this case, the target temperature is 60 C. The range for this part is outside this range. A difference in the mold core temperature compared to the mold cavity temperature is reflected in a difference in the part surface temperatures. This result will contribute to the part warping.
