Molding Loads- Boundary Conditions
Introduction
-
All external faces should have a boundary condition defined on them.
- There should be no duplicate boundary condition
- All boundary data is in SI units. Mainly the temperature is in Kelvin
-
If mold or insert is modeled, a contact condition should be defined between the polymer and the mold/insert.
-
Mold, mold insert, and part insert are meshed with connected mesh. There are no boundary conditions between them.
- It is best to define the vent. If no vent is defined, auto venting will be used. Even if a single vent is defined, auto venting will be disabled.
