179 SolidWorks Tutorial Parting Line Analysis Video Lecture - SolidWorks

welcome to SolidWorks tutorial number
179 in this tutorial we will continue
talking the next analysis tool in the
mold tool section so the next analysis
tool is the parting line analysis so
after performing the previous analysis
draft analysis under cup analysis now
it's time to prepare for creating the
mold
so for creating a mold we need a parting
line so the parting line analysis aims
to help in placing the parting line of
the mold so let's think about this part
and we need a mold for that and here is
simple view of a mold of two parts and
let's imagine that the inside cavity is
for the mobile cover we closing the mold
there should be a parting line
let's close this small and change it and
change the transparency so you can
imagine the inside product is the mobile
cover and here is a parting line in the
middle so the parting line analysis
feature helps to place the parting line
for creating the mold now let's go back
to our mobile cover and let's see where
we can place our parting line in this
case for this upper half normally it
should be inside the top of the mold so
let's click on the parting line analysis
and the direction of the pole is the top
plane and you will notice the parting
line will be on the edge over there so
it is logically as we said that would be
the upper so I the
more so in this case the parting line
will be on the edge or in other words
this part will be inside the mold and
the top phase of this part will be the
two phase of the mold if we go back to
the mold over there
and hide
this part so this is the or the upper
phase of the bottom old and he is the
edge which can be the parting line for
our mobile cover so to make it clear we
will make another product so let's see
another example start a new part and
pick the top plane and we can draw a
simple corn click ok and let's see we
would like to create a parting line for
this part go to the mall tools click on
the parting line and the direction of
both depending on how you would like to
pull it you see we would like to have a
mode that will with a direction of poll
on the right plane and you will see
there is the parting line in order to
inject each half of this code but if you
would like to make the direction of poll
the top plane so you will notice that
the whole cone will be injected in one
in the first half of the mold and there
is no parting or preview for a parting
line so depending on the size and the
mode you can pay as a helping tool for
placing or where to place the parting
line and we are done click can see your
notice this is the recommended parting
line for your mold and here we can
notice if you imagine this product so
this is the first half of the corn and
the second side will be the other side
of the corn
