About the Mold or Die Opening Process
Simulation of a mold or the die opening process allows you to check the correctness of your design. You can specify moves for any member of the assembly, except the reference model, the workpiece, or die block.
It is convenient to add the reference model and the workpiece or die block to a blanked layer before opening the mold or die.
The mold or die opening process is a series of steps, each containing one or more moves. A move is an instruction to move one or more members, offsetting them in a specified direction by a specified value.
