Create insulation plate
Add insulation plates above or below standard plates by selecting a reference plate. The default dimensions of the new insulation plate are the dimensions of the reference plate. The standard mold plates created by the New mold dialog box will be moved to create space for the newly added plate. Adding plates without moving plates is also possible.
After creating the plate the recalculate function will begin.
To create insulation plate, click Mold Base and then, in the Create group, click Insulation Plate. The Create Insulation Plate dialog box opens.
