Choosing the Coolant Parts for a Molding Simulation

You can select one or more solid 3DParts that represent the coolant parts in the simulation.

  1. From the Setup section of the action bar, click Coolant Parts .

    Your product structure will be represented in a simple tree. Each body that is available for use as a coolant part will be shown with a check box.

  2. Specify the bodies you want to use as coolant parts.
  3. Click OK.

Your selected 3DParts are designated as coolant parts. In addition, a virtual mold that completely surrounds all coolant and plastic parts is created. See About Virtual Molds for more information.
