Hi,

you have some information in Moldflow Insight Help.

See on-line help:

Rapid mold heating and cooling

There you can continue to :

Volume heating

or

Surface heating (using induction such as Roctool)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Berndt

Berndt, Thank you !! Yup , theory behind RHC is available in data base . But how to executive it practically ?? What should be the work flow & modeling of RHC in moldflow ?? Regards

Hi @shrishailesh

the help also has the workflow included.

Basically, you need to have a Cool FEM mold mesh.

There is a video on this:

Cool FEM Moldflow Synergy Modeling

Make sure you have modeled cooling channels, set the Analysis Sequence to include a Cool (FEM) analysis, and have selected a transient solver from the Mold temperature options in the Process Settings Wizard.

When setting Coolant inlets, it should be Rapid Heating and Cooling Inlets:

Boundary Conditions tab > Cooling panel > Coolant inlets) to view the options.
Click Rapid heating and cooling Rapid Heating and Cooling Inlets.

If you scroll past theory , and select Volume heating , you will see the how to as:

•Creating a rapid heating and cooling inlet
•Assigning a rapid heating and cooling inlet location
•Editing parameters for time control
•Editing parameters for temperature control
•Set Rapid Heating and Cooling inlet dialog

This dialog lists all the rapid heating and cooling inlets that are available from which to select.
•Rapid Heating and Cooling inlet dialog
•Heating control by time control
•Heating control by temperature
•Water cooling control by time dialog
•Water cooling control by temperature dialog
•Heated water control
