Setting up a Gate Location analysis
The following table summarizes the setup tasks required to prepare a Gate Location analysis.
The setup tasks below are for non fiber-filled, or fiber-filled thermoplastic materials.
| Setup task | Mesh Type |
|---|---|
| Molding Processes |    |
| To mesh the model | |
| Checking the mesh | |
| Analysis sequences | |
| Selecting a material | |
| Process settings | |
| Prohibited Gate nodes | |
Optional setup tasks
| Setup task | Mesh Type |
|---|---|
| Injection locations | |
Note: You can select between two algorithms when running a Gate Location analysis. If you have not set an injection location for your study, you can use either the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm or Gate Region Locator algorithm. If you have set one or more injection locations, then you can only use the Gate Region Locator algorithm.
