Create addendum faces between the blank faces and the binder. Addendum faces are those that bridge between the part (blank) faces and the binder faces. A predefined list of cross section shapes are available for the definition of the addendum faces.
Addendum faces are mostly required in Transfer and Regular Die design, where large-medium parts are transferred between multiple presses to complete them, such as shells, tube applications, frames and structural components.
