Creating a runner system using the Runner System Wizard

  1. Click Runner System Wizard (Geometry tab > Feed system panel > Runner Wizard).

    The Runner System Wizard appears.

  2. By default, the Wizard creates the sprue, the gates and the runners for your model. Deselect the Create runners and/or Create gates option(s) if you don't want to create the whole runner system.
    Tip: Click Browse button to quickly set the properties for the sprue, gates, and runners you want for your runner system.
  3. Enter X and Y coordinates, or click Middle of the mold to position the sprue.
  4. Select the required Layout from the drop-down list.
  5. Select the Use intersection testing option if you want the wizard to automatically adjust the runner system, in order to avoid possible collision with the cooling system or the part.
  6. Click OK to save and close the dialog.
Note: Once the runner system is created, it is then possible to manually manipulate the system at a more granular level.
