Message Text

** WARNING 313511 ** The preheating duration is longer than the mold close duration. The mold close duration will be extended to allow pre-heating to complete before injection starts.

Explanation

For a multicycle molding process, the preheating stage for the next cycle happens when the mold is closed at the end of the current cycle. If the preheating is time-controlled, the preheating duration should be shorter than the specified mold close duration. If this is not true, the analysis will disregard the mold close duration input, and automatically extend the mold close duration to match the preheating duration.

Resolution

  1. Open the Time Control (Cycle) tab of the Reactive molding process settings dialog
  2. Check the Mold-close time before injection
  3. Open the RTM Cooling tab of the same dialog
  4. Check the Preheating duration
  5. Change either input to make sure the Mold-close time before injection is greater than the Preheating duration.
