About Mold Analysis Workflow
1. Open a .prt file in Creo Parametric.
2. Click Applications > Mold Analysis. The Mold Analysis tab opens.
3. Select a material from the Material library. If the material is not available in the library, you can modify the properties of an existing material.
4. Add gates on the model. You can add a gate location manually or automatically. You can also edit the gate diameter.
5. Set up the process conditions for the analysis. You can select options for additional simulations for estimating the cooling time and sink mark. Select the mesh element size based on the accuracy required for the analysis.
6. Run the analysis. You can perform multiple analyses by changing the material, gates, and process conditions on a model.
7. View the analysis results. Select an analysis from the Analysis Setup dialog box and click the options in the Analysis Results and X-Y Plot groups. In addition, you can use the Results Advisor dialog box to view the issues found in the analysis. Click the issue to view the suggested solution.
8. Generate a report output. You can generate a report with details of the analysis in the Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt) and HTML format.
