BEM Cool analysis: Tutorial review
In this tutorial, you:
- Created a project.
- Imported an existing study.
- Created cooling lines.
- Created a mold boundary.
- Set up and ran the analysis.
- Reviewed results.
Be Adventurous
- Try to reduce the variation in mold temperature between the cavity and core. Two easy things to try is to change the coolant properties and cycle time.
- Save this study with a new name, Application menu > Save > Save study as.
- To change the coolant properties select a coolant inlet and change the temperature and or Reynolds number. Assume that the temperature of the circuits can be different.
- To change the cycle time, open the process settings wizard and edit the Injection + packing + cooling time.
- Run another analysis. Pay attention to the temperature variation within the coolant, the mold temperature on the cavity and core sides, plus between the cavity and core sides. The lower the variation the better.
