Components and their Parameters

This section explains the parameters for each component type. The yellow square in each of the images indicates the origin of the component axis system and facilitates positioning.

	Mold base components
	Mold Base		Parameters defined at Mold Product level: MoldL - Main length of the mold MoldW - Main width of the mold OverL - Length overhang for clamping and setting plates OverW - Width overhang for clamping and setting plates UppW - Width of upper bars RisW - Width of riser bars EjeW - Width of ejector plates CorCavS - Overlap between cavity and core plates. Default value=0.8xheight of core plate StripOverlap - Overlap between stripper and core plates SPShH - Distance between setting and ejector plates (it corresponds generally to the height of the shoulder of the stop pins) Parameters defined for each plate: H - Height of the plate
	Slider		L - Slider support length W - Slider support width H - Slider support height WT - Slider guide rail width HT - Slider guide rail height LP - Slider shelf length HP - Slider shelf height AP - Slider shelf angle LF - Slider form length HF - Slider form height WF - Slider form width HD - Height that the slider form is raised Draft - Slider form draft angle on the vertical faces DraftB _ Slider form draft angle on the bottom face DepthPocket _ Slider pocket depth AnglePinPos - Angle pin positioning angle Retraction - Slider retraction AnglePinD - Angle pin hole diameter
	The following rules apply to some parameters: if HP >= H then HP = H - 1 if HD >= HF then HF = HD + 1 if HF > H then HF = H if HT > HP then HT = HP if LP > L then LP = L if AnglePinD >= W then AnglePinD = W - 1 if AnglePinD >= LP then AnglePinD = LP - 1 if AnglePinPos >= LP+AnglePinD/2 then AnglePinPos = LP + AnglePinD/2 - 1 if AnglePinPos <= AnglePinD/2 then AnglePinPos = AnglePinD/2 + 1
	Retainer		L - Guide rail length W - Width between the guide rails WT - Retainer width HT - Retainer height WR - Guide rail width HR - Guide rail height DepthPocket - Guide rail pocket depth
	If you select a slider that corresponds to a retainer (while the retainer creation dialog box is open) the retainer parameters are automatically adapted to match those of the slider.
