CAD modifications as Parametric Optimization variables
Modifications you make to CAD model geometry are recognized as variables in a parametric optimization study, for an extended selection of molding processes.
You can now save CAD geometry modifications and use them as variables in parametric optimization studies, not just for thermoplastics injection molding but for many other molding processes.
CAD modifications are recognized as variables in the parametric study builder for the following analysis sequences:
- Fill.
- Fill + Pack
- Fill + Pack + Warp
and for the following molding processes:
