Hello,
I am a new user to Nautilus 8. I have a question or two about how to locate data necessary to create an entry in the Material Database. The figure "maximum residence time" seems rather difficult to find, and obviously depends on temperature (I would assume that this is based on 'average melt temperature'). I see the use of this in giving a go/no-go on a different machine based on % of barrel capacity.
Let me know if you have a good resource or method for finding maximum residence time, or if you sidestep this figure.
[I have similar questions regarding maximum screw speed and injection velocity, when my machine is old and without a good spec sheet :D . I also can find a variety of values for clamp tons/sq. in, and am unsure of how to guess at that figure. Lastly, do you use the software with just a handful of 'representative' materials, and as a starting point for translating processes to other machines? How do you normally use Nautilus?]
