Alternatively, individual screw elements can be selected in the displayed screw configuration. By right clicking on an element a list appears including the option to create a SIGMA3D configuration.

For the three-dimensional simulation, the one-dimensional calculation should have been done before. This way the one-dimensional calculated material temperature at the desired screw position can be used for the three-dimensional simulation. By default the selected screw element and two elements upstream are selected in the configuration window. The only parameter that has to be set, is the clearance between the screws.
