Guidelines for Splitting Volumes
To successfully split a volume, perform the following actions:
• Review the reference part for geometry issues, such as problematic edges, vertices, slivers, and gaps. Remove or repair the geometry.
• Use absolute accuracy or match the accuracy of the mold assembly, workpiece, and reference model to the accuracy of the design part.
• Remove or repair any holes and open loops in the parting surface.
• Check the parting surface for self intersection and holes by clicking Mold > Analysis > Parting Surface Check or clicking Cast > Analysis > Parting Surface Check. Fix any problematic areas.
If a split failure occurs, follow the recommended actions in the Troubleshooter dialog box.
