Coolant Input Boundary Condition
The Coolant Input boundary condition replaces the Cooling System boundary conditions
of Cool Pipe, Coolant Flow Field, and Coolant Entrance.
The Coolant Input boundary condition is more intuitive and easier to use than the
previous boundary conditions. Assign the Coolant Input boundary condition directly on
geometry entities. This boundary condition supports both solid body and sketch-based
cooling channel designs.
Create Body from Deformed Shape
After running a warpage analysis, you can export the deformed shape as a SOLIDWORKS ®
part body.
To open the Body from Deformed Shape PropertyManager:
In the PlasticsManager, under Results, right-click Warp Results, and click Create Body
from Deformed Shape.
