Solver message 313450

Message text

** ERROR 313450 ** No first shot-part mesh elements have been found. Ensure that the elements that comprise the first shot in the two-shot overmolding mold are present in the region where the first shot occurs, and the rotation element box is selected.

Explanation

This error is fatal. The solver could not find the mesh elements representing the first shot of your two-shot overmolding mold, as illustrated by the red part on the left side on the illustration.

This error could be due to either of the following causes:

1. The part does not exist in the study,
2. The properties of the part are not set correctly.

Resolution

1. If the part does not exist in the study:

• Click (Home tab > Import panel > Add).
• Locate and import the model describing the first component .
• If necessary, click (Geometry tab > Utilities panel > Move > Translate) to position the first component correctly, relative to the second component.
• Assign the correct properties to the part.

2. If the properties of the part are not set correctly:

• Select the first component of the single cavity (red part, on the left side of the illustration).
• Right-click the model in the Model pane and select Properties.
• Select Part (3D) and click OK.
• In the Overmolding Component tab, set the Component option to 1st shot.
• Check Rotation element, then click OK.
