Importing a CAD geometry and using Mold Mesh tool

Importing a CAD geometry and using Mold Mesh tool is only valid for sequences that includes Cool (FEM).

1. Import your CAD geometry for the mold.
2. To assign the right property to the mold
   1. Selecting it,
   2. Right-click the selection
   3. Select Change Property Type ...

      You can also right-click or double-click Create Mold Components.. in the Study panel and select Add CAD Mold Component.. (number 2 in the Figure 1).

      

      Figure 1: Create Mold Components options within the Study panel.

3. Click (Mesh tab > Mesh panel > Mold Mesh).

   You can also double-click Create Mold 3D Mesh... in the study panel, if Mold component is not ticked (see Figure 2).
