  1. Using the Layers pane, select the cooling channels (1).
  2. Right-click in the Model pane and select Properties.
  3. Select the channels from the fixed cavity and then click OK.
  4. Select the Overmolding Mold Component tab, and then set the Component option to Stationary Component.
  5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to select the channels from the rotating core and then click OK.
  6. Select the Overmolding Mold Component tab, and then set the Component option to Rotational Component.
  7. Click Set... to specify the rotation axis and the reference point.
  8. Click OK twice.
