Creating a Separation Manager

Use Separation Manager to create a SetOfSeparation on simple parts, from the pulling direction, the part geometry and the parting line.

Under SetOfSeparation, Separation Manager creates

  • A feature (Separation Manager) that manages the separation of the part.
  • And features (result solutions) that manage the result of the separation. They can be of two types:
    • Side (Core, Cavity, Slider/lifter). They allow the creation of splits and inserts in the process.
    • Or Split (Core, Cavity, Slider/lifter).

    If extended surfaces (shut off surfaces) or fills exist and are selected, Side automatically creates a join, using the SurfaceJoinTolerance parameter.

  1. Select the compulsory inputs.
    1. Select the pulling direction.
    2. Select the part geometry.
    3. Select the parting line.
  2. Click Apply.
    Side features are created under SetOfSeparation as Core Side, Cavity Side, or Slider/lifter.
  3. Optional: Select parting surfaces and shut-off surfaces, either for both sides, or for core or cavity only.
    They are joined with the cavity or core surfaces.
  4. Optional: From the tree, edit the parameter SurfaceJoinTolerance under Separation Manager.
  5. After any modification of the input, click Update to update the result.
