Message text

* ERROR 702715 ** Cooling channel element, id = *element number and part or mold element id = element number are closer than the "Channel minimum diameter collision distance ratio" collision ratio specified in the process settings. Model the cooling channels of the initial case to respect the conditions specified for the final case. Or alternatively, reduce the diameters of the channels or loosen the "Channel minimum diameter collision distance ratio" criteria.

Explanation

The specified cooling channel element is too close to the part surface or mold surface. The minimum collision distance ratio set in the process settings does not allow the cooling channels to be so close to part or mold surfaces.

Resolution

-Move the cooling channels further apart from each other or from mold elements such as parting planes, inserts, outer boundaries and ejector pins. -Alternatively, reduce the diameter of the cooling channels to meet the collision distance ratio set in the process settings. -As a last resort, reduce the specified collision distance ratio.

By reducing the specified collision distance ratio the cooling channels can be closer to each other or the mold or part surfaces. Reducing the collision distance ratio reduces the structural integrity of the mold. To be safe always use a value greater than or equal to 1.0.
