Assigning properties to mold components

Once the mold and all its components have been imported, they must be assigned the correct properties. The best way to do this is to select one layer at a time and deselect all others.

  1. Select the mold layer and make sure all other layers are deselected.
  2. Click (View tab > Navigate panel > Select), and then click on the mold to select it.
  3. Click (Geometry tab > Properties panel > Assign) and select Mold block (3D) from the New drop-down list. The Mold block (3D) dialog opens.
  4. Edit the entries as appropriate, then click OK twice to close all dialogs.
  5. Repeat this process with all the other components, including the part, the feed system and the cooling channels.
