This operation creates features like sharp inner corners, which are difficult to form without using more expensive processes.
When a part requires modifications, you can replace an insert instead of replacing the whole core and cavity
Note: the Create Insert and Create Heel commands in Mold Design R14 replace the Side Core command in Mold Design R13. If you use the Rectangle or Cylinder method to create a side core, you can migrate the side core to an insert and a heel automatically.
Trim rules of the Create Insert command
Because the heel is part of an insert, the trim behavior of the heel is the same as the trim behavior of an insert. The trim rules of a heel are:
- If they cause interference, the core pins or inserts that you create later trim the core pins or inserts that you created earlier.
- If an insert interferes with them, existing ejectors, runners, or cooling channels trim it.
- An insert trims the existing core and cavity. In Mold Design, you can create an insert before you generate the core and cavity. After you generate the core and cavity, the existing insert trims the core and cavity.
