About Mold or Cast Model Files
You use Mold Design and Casting to create molds, castings, and layouts that are used by various manufacturing processes. A typical mold or cast model is made up of the following parts and assemblies:
One or more reference models
One or more workpieces or die blocks
Mold or die components used as cavity inserts
Additional mold or cast features
Sand cores for cast models
Mold or cast results
When you save a model, a modelname.asm file is created. Several additional files may be created for extracted components and molding or casting parts. You access a mold or cast model using the .asm file.
 
* When erasing a file from memory, select any extracted component to make sure that the volume information is erased.
