Using the Slider Functionality
You can create a slider as a Mold Volume or as a solid feature of a mold base component.
To create a slider as a Mold Volume:
1. In the Model Tree, click a mold volume and select
Redefine Mold Volume from the mini toolbar. The
Edit Mold Volume tab opens.
2. Click
Slider. The
Slider Volume dialog box opens.
3. Specify the blank volumes you want to include in the slider geometry.
4. Optionally, you can select a planar surface, such as the side of the workpiece, as the projection plane. If you are modifying an existing volume, make sure the projection plane lies inside the volume being modified (so that the slider is connected to the Mold Volume). The system creates the slider as a Mold Volume.
5. You can use any Mold Volume operations on the slider, as needed.
6. Extract the Mold Volume to create a slider component.
