Cimatron Parting Functions
The following functions appear under the Parting menu and/or the Parting Guide toolbar.
The table below can be sorted; it has clickable headers that sort the table by the clicked column. The table is initially sorted by Function name.
| Menu Section | Function | ||
|
|
Create a Layout Part as a skeleton for the multi cavity. |
||
|
|
Add an existing parting sub-assembly. |
||
|
|
Create a new parting surface part. |
||
|
|
Cut a part by active and parting surfaces of an opening direction. |
||
|
|
Delete selected analysis marks created by the last used analysis operation. The markings are areas indicated as problematic during the analysis. |
||
|
|
Analyze selected faces and visualize their draft angle with reference to a defined direction. |
||
|
|
Analyze faces assigned to opening directions and display their drafting angles with reference to those directions. |
||
|
|
Edit a previously defined split direction. When you edit a direction, the faces that belong to this direction are automatically selected. |
||
|
|
Create an external parting surface. |
||
|
|
Hide or show the analysis marks created by the last used analysis operation. The markings are areas indicated as problematic during the analysis. |
||
|
|
Highlight the split direction of a face. |
||
|
|
Create a UCS to be used as a layout UCS and have work parts placed on it. |
||
|
|
Import or add a work part to the assembly and position the work part onto the UCSs in the Layout Part. With this function, you can create a new work part from a master part file or load an existing work part. |
||
|
|
Mark a part as a work part. |
||
|
|
Invoke the QuickSplit function and create a new opening direction. |
||
|
|
Analyze the quality of the parting (QuickSplit) work and parting surfaces creation. |
||
|
|
Assign parting attributes to parting surfaces (faces)parting surfaces (faces). This attaches the parting surfaces to opening directions. Parting surfaces separate the core and cavity mold halves; they are the contact surfaces of the two halves of the mold. Parting surfaces do not form the molded part. |
||
|
|
Split faces into opening directions based on their ability to be extruded in those directions and existing parting surfaces. |
||
|
|
Apply Shrinkage Compensation to compensate for part shrinkage during the mold material cooling process, after removal from the mold and cooling to room temperature. |
||
|
|
Update the size of the bounding box around the work part(s) that are shown in the Setup Mold Layout tab. |
||
|
|
Create the main reference UCS (Work CS) in the work part, defining the position of the work part in the assembly. |
The following menu sections are available under the Parting menu.
|
This group of functions is used to perform graphical analyses of draft angles (undercuts) in the model and verify the spilt model definition. |
|
|
This group of functions is used to add and edit a Layout part. A Layout part is a pattern of coordinate systems used to place the work parts (the next step in the Mold Design Guide Toolbar and Parting Guide Toolbar) within the mold. A layout part can be selected to meet the requirements for either a single or multiple cavity design. Each work part will be placed using a single coordinate system. You can also add a Layout part from the Mold Project Setup Wizard. |
|
|
This group of functions is used for Parting Surface operations. |
|
|
This group is functions is used to split faces, define opening directions and attach parting surfaces to the opening directions. |
|
|
This is a general group of tools used for parting operations. |
Note: All operations are also accessible either through the menu bar and / or toolbar icons.
