Intermediate results

Intermediate results provide more time-animation capabilities when viewing results because intermediate time-slices have been saved.

Profiled Intermediate results allow you to view a variable, for example, temperature or velocity, across the cavity thickness at selected locations in the part and at a specified time from the start of injection.

You can adjust the number of intermediate results for each phase of the injection cycle. This allows you to obtain more detailed information about important parts of the analysis. Warpage results, for example, could benefit from more intermediate results through the packing phase.

By default in a Fill+Pack analysis using the Coupled 3D Flow solver, there are 5 intermediate steps in the filling phase, 5 intermediate steps in the packing phase and 3 intermediate steps in the cooling phase.

By default in a Midplane or Dual Domain Fill+Pack analysis there are 20 intermediate steps in the filling phase and 20 intermediate steps in the remainder of the analysis.
