To Create a Mold or Cast Result
This step allows you to produce a real molding or cast result by filling the mold or die cavity, as it is currently defined through the sprue, runners, and gates, with the molten material.
|
The molding or cast result may be created only after the extract components or die blocks have been created.
|
The result is created by determining the volume remaining in the workpiece after subtracting the extracts. It can then be brought into NC Manufacturing to remove excess material; or brought into Part mode, where you can calculate its mass properties, check for suitable draft, and generate a mesh (FEM) for flow analysis.
The molding or cast result is computed using the following formula:
molding or cast result = (sum of all current workpiece or die block geometry - assembly level cuts that intersect workpiece or die block - all extracted parts - ejector pin clearance holes)
