This dialog is used to specify values for certain inputs common to all thermoplastics processes.

Dialog element - General tab
Molding material	Select and edit the material to analyze.
Process controller	Allows you to select and edit a process controller to control the injection molding process during the analysis.
Injection molding machine	Select and edit an injection molding machine to simulate your molding machine during the analysis. You can configure the injection unit, hydraulic unit, and clamping unit.
Mold material	Allows you to select and edit the mold material to be used during the analysis. You can specify the density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity of the mold material.
Solver parameters	Allows you to select and edit the solver parameters to be used during the analysis. For example, you can configure intermediate results, mold/melt convergence criteria, and analysis restart settings.

Dialog element - Design of Experiments tab	Explanation
DOE control	Allows you to select and/or edit default inputs for a Design of Experiments analysis.

Dialog element - Process Optimization tab	Explanation
Process optimization control	Allows you to select and/or edit default inputs for a Process Optimization analysis.

Dialog element - Injection-Compression tab	Explanation
Compression press controller	Allows you to select and/or edit a predefined compression press controller to be used for the Injection-compression analysis.

Dialog element - Co-injection tab	Explanation
Material B	Allows you to select and/or edit the material used by Controller B in the analysis.
Process controller B	Allows you to select and edit a process controller to control the second-material related processing conditions of the analysis.
Injection molding machine B	Allows you to select and/or edit the injection molding machine used to inject polymer B in the Co-injection process.

Dialog element - Mold Opening Direction tab
Orientation set	Specifies a direction by means of a vector, where X, Y and Z refer to the global axes and the sign of a component corresponds to the +ve or -ve direction on that global axis.

Dialog element - Molding Window tab	Explanation
Molding window control	Allows you to select and/or edit default inputs for a Molding Window analysis.

Dialog element - Runner Balance tab	Explanation
Runner balancing control	Allows you to select and/or edit default inputs for a Runner Balance analysis.

Dialog element - Gate Location tab	Explanation
Minimum thickness ratio	Use the Minimum thickness ratio to automatically exclude extremely thin regions from being considered as positions for injection locations.
Minimum design injection pressure	Specifies the maximum injection pressure to be used in the gate location analysis. The gate location algorithm will take this limit into consideration when searching for feasible gate locations.
Maximum design clamp force	Specifies the maximum clamp force to be used in the gate location analysis. The gate location algorithm will take this limit into consideration when searching for feasible gate locations.
