Defining the Main Pulling Direction with No Draft

The No Draft option is used to search faces that are vertical (with respect of the Draft angle) and
to send them to a dedicated Geometrical set.
Usually, these faces will need to be drafted before being sent to the Mold Tooling Design application.

More Operating Mode information is available in the Basic Task Defining the Main Pulling Direction.

More information about the parameters is available in the Pulling Direction Parameters chapter.

 

  1. In the Core and Cavity Design workbench, import the GettingStarted.CATPart  using the Import model command.

  3. Click OK to validate and exit the dialog box.
    The vertical face found is sent to a dedicated Geometrical set NoDraft_xxxdeg.1,
    xxxdeg being the value of the draft angle.
