Hello to all

When inserting filters, should they be inserted:

Inside the housing (as above)?

Exactly with hosing walls?

Outside housing walls as below?

    Uri,

     

    If you import your filter from the CAD, you can use its real shape:

    • Inside the housing (diameter filter < diameter channel): not the best solution because the metal can by-pass the filter
    • Exactly with hosing walls (diameter filter = diameter channel): the best solution
    • Outside housing walls (diameter filter > diameter channel): the metal is slowed down as the filter is filled first and once it is saturated the metal can flow.

    I hope this helps.
