Creating a 3D mold mesh for mold block surfaces defined by the Mold Block Wizard

For mold block surfaces defined by the Mold Block Wizard, creating the 3D mold mesh is the final step before running a Transient cool analysis.

Make sure you have created a mold surface mesh before you attempt to create a 3D mold mesh.

To convert a mold surface triangular mesh into a 3D mold mesh:

  1. Double-click Create Mold 3D Mesh in the Study Tasks pane to open the Generate Mold Mesh dialog.
  2. Select the Tetra tab and check the values. Edit if necessary, but generally the defaults should suffice.
  3. Click Mesh Now to generate the 3D mold mesh.
