Gate Location analysis
The Gate Location analysis is used to recommend injection locations for the part. This analysis works for all analysis technologies and is used as a preliminary input for a full Fill+Pack analysis.
You can choose between two algorithms when running a Gate Location analysis, the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm or the Gate Region Locator algorithm. The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm is the default.
When using this analysis, you can define prohibited gate nodes to specify areas where you do not want to place gates.
After running a Gate Location analysis, the recommended injection location is automatically displayed in a duplicate of the study.
Note: CAD models that have been imported through the Direct Import option are not duplicated with the study. However, they remain available in the original study.
