The gelation function is used to describe how the viscosity changes as a function of
the degree of curing. It is assumed that the
resin is fully cured when the gelation value is reached and it ceases to flow. In
addition, the curing reaction is assumed exothermic, and the heat released is
included in the energy equation.
Latent Heat of Curing
Units: J/kg
Keyword: LatentHeat
Description: Latent heat of curing.
Gelation Cure Value
Units: None
Keyword: CureGelationValue
Description: The maximum value of the degree of curing is 1.0. But for many
materials, they behave like fully cured at this value (less than 1.0)
