3D Cool - Dumb question

[solymossy]

 Hi Guys!

 What is the 0th second during a 3D Cool analysis? I've thought that it should be the start of the injection molding cycle. But the Temperature, part result shows a FILLED CAVITY at time 0. So if I check the log or the Time to reach ejection temperature result what times do I get? (I am a bit perplexed.)

 Thanks,

Hi,

the starting point of Cool solver is a cavity filled with melt at set melt temperature.
This to get a heat load and be able to run analysis. It will then iterate to a heat balance to converge (One can run a Cool analysis only).

The Ejection Temperature result is using a material data called  "Ejection Temperature" from Material data, tab Recommended Processing. When this temperaure is reached in analysis, time is recorded.

In Autodesk Moldflow Insight 2011
Time to reach ejection temperature, part result: shows the time required to reach the ejection temperature, measured from the start of the cycle.
