Specification Tree

The icons displayed in Mold Design specification tree are standard icons.

	You can choose to show or hide parameters, relations and constraints using the following menus: For CATProducts (Mold, InjectionSide, EjectionSide, EjectorSystem): `Tools>Options>Infrastructure>Product Structure`: For CATParts:`Tools>Options>Infrastructure>Part Infrastructure:`

	The rules below should be complied with for a better use of Mold Design. You can create molds without following these rules, but this may lead to unexpected results and performances.

	Mold	InjectionSide, EjectionSide and EjectorSystem are CATProducts The compulsory names for plates are: ClampingPlate, UpperBar1, UpperBar2, CavitySupportPlate, CavityPlate, StripperPlate, `CorePlate` , CoreSupportPlate, RiserBar1, RiserBar2, SettingPlate, EjectorPlateA, EjectorPlateB

	MoldedPart	The Part Number of the part to mold must be MoldedPart MoldedPart must contain the part to mold and all surfaces required for the core plate and cavity plate split. The Geometrical set containing the parting surface must be called PartingBody. When splitting a component, all bodies included in the component will be split. If there is a body that you do not want to split, rename it with two underscores as a prefix (i.e. `body1` becomes `__body1`). If a surface named CavitySurface is found in the specification tree, it will be automatically proposed as the splitting element for the cavity plate. If a surface named CoreSurface is found in the specification tree, it will be automatically proposed as the splitting element for the core plate.

	Predefined 3D points	Standard mold bases include 3D points that are identified as being for the location of components; Points for: bushings are called `Bushingi` (where i is a number from 1 to 4), cap or countersunk screws are called `ClampingScrewi`, `SettingScrewi` and `EjectorBScrewi` (where i is a number from 1 to 4), leader pins are called `LeaderPini` (where i is a number from 1 to 4), sleeves are called `Sleevei` (where i is a number from 1 to 4), stop pins are called `StopPini` (where i is a number from 1 to 4).




	UserComponent	This is a CATPart with a special structure Its name must be that used in the catalog (here SLIDER) There must be an Geometrical set named PartBody containing the object itself. There must be an Geometrical set named DrillHoll containing the negative shapes subtracted from the mold. There must be an Geometrical set BaseBody containing a point named Base, with its coordinates being 0,0,0 to define the reference point of the component. To add material around a component, you must create an Geometrical set named Pad. To remove material around a component, you must create an Geometrical set named Pocket.

	Tooling Part Interface	It is a CATPart, with a name beginning with `TlgITf_` that is generated by tooling commands to convey impact information from one context to another. `Sleeve_Z022_2` is inserted between the `ClampingPlate` in the `InjectionSide` and the `SettingPlate` in the `EjectionSide`. `TlgItf_EjectionSide` conveys the impact information from the `InjectionSide` to the `EjectionSide`.
