Customizing weld line display properties
Weld lines are created when two or more flow paths meet during the filling process. Weld line strength is influenced by the temperature at which the weld line is formed (not more than 20°C below injection temperature) and the pressure exerted on the weld while the material is within its recommended processing temperature range (the higher the pressure, the more the material is rediffused).
- Select Weld lines from the Results section of the Study Tasks pane.
- Click
(Results tab > Properties panel > Plot Properties), and select the Highlight tab from the top of the dialog box that appears. - From the Color box, click
Browse. - From the dialog that appears, select the required feature and then click OK twice.
- The scale bar in the Model Pane now displays the extent of results for the feature selected.
- Individual results can be obtained by selecting
(Results tab > Examine panel > Examine) and then clicking on the part of the weld line of interest.
These results should then be compared to the processing parameters used for this analysis.
