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)
1. Click Mold > Create Molding or click Cast > Create Cast Result.
2. Enter the name of the molding or cast result. The molding or cast result is created.
3. To delete the molding or cast result, right-click the feature in the Model Tree and select Delete.
