Create the Cooling Lines

In this task, you create cooling lines using a wizard then modify the cooling circuits created.

1. Click Home > Geometry > Cooling System > Cooling Wizard.

   

2. Ensure that the Channel diameter is 10 mm.

3. Ensure that the Layout is Along X-axis.

4. Click Distance between channels and specify a distance of 35 mm.

5. Enter an Offset from part's boundary of 25 mm.

6. Enter a Hose length of 25 mm.

7. Click OK.

   

8. Rotate the part to 0 0 0 so you can see the FRONT face of the View Cube.

   

   Notice how cooling channels (blue) are inside the mold outline, and hoses are on the outside.

9. Click View > Visibility > Object Visibility.

10. Click off the Mold Outline.

11. Click to activate the Select tool from the Navigation Toolbar.

12. Select the two outermost and innermost channels and the hoses that connect to them, as shown. Hold the Ctrl key to select multiple items.

    

13. Press the Delete key. There are eight channels across each part, and two circuits, one each in the cavity and core. Now the circuits are split in two.

14. Select the middle hose for each cavity to split the circuits in two.

    

    The eight circuits you create shown below.

    

15. Rotate the model so you can clearly see each circuit inlet and outlet.

16. Click Geometry > Cooling System > Coolant Inlets.

    

17. Click the end of the hoses at the locations shown to create eight cooling inlets.
