185 SolidWorks Mold Tools Tutorial: Tooling Split (face options; move blocks; shut surfaces boundary Video Lecture | SolidWorks: Essential Training (All Commands included) - IT & Software

utopia 185 in this tutorial we talk
about the next command the tooling split
or in other word creating the mold
blocks the core and cavity and we will
see how to slick the face and see some
cases about it and then after creating
the blocks see how to move them and see
the effect of shut off surfaces on the
blocks and then see how we can spread
them and save them and separate parts
for further editing here we have all
mobile cover from the previous tutorial
where we made the parting surface and we
selected this surface to be
perpendicular to the direction of pole
so you really know that this surface is
perpendicular to the parting line so now
let's try to a tooling split which in
other word are the de molde cubes click
on the tooling split and here you have
two options to select the plane and or
if there is an existing plane or sketchy
so here we need to select a face there
are many ways to select the face the
first option we know that this surface
is perpendicular to the direction of
pole so you can you are able to sketch
on it but this is not the case because
sometimes this service as we see it can
be with an angle if we go to editing the
parting surface our option was
perpendicular the pole but in some cases
it can has an angle as we see as we
talked about in the previous tutorial so
there is another way to select the this
surface to create the tooling split
because we already know that is this
face is perpendicular to the parting
line and third option which I will
choose because when we start to design
this mobile cover we added in mind that
this face will be matching the
to plan and we'll be the splitting
surface or the plane which will separate
the mode blocks so I'm going to select
the top plane so that to here I will set
the top plane and start a sketch normal
to and here again when we design we made
it that the origin to be in the centre
of mobile so I'm going to select
directly a center point rectangle from
the centre of Dubai and draw a rectangle
which represent the mall blocks and here
I can add dimension according to the
design so this is an example we can make
150 100 click OK and now I can exit from
the sketch so we have our existing
sketch and go to tooling split and the
sketch is selected and here you can
specify the block size I'll make it 50
in each direction and here if you would
like to add an extra face to interlock
surface to be between the blocks but I
will uncheck this for now and here we
have the shut off surfaces the 22 which
we made in the previous tutorial when we
talk about the shut off surfaces so all
of these surfaces are included in the
mold blocks and as you remember we have
22 surfaces the core surfaces if we
expand the surface body here we have 22
for the core which are selected over
there
and the same for the cavity surfaces and
for the parking surface which we made in
the previous tutorial is also selected
so all the so all the surfaces under the
surface body are selected and when you
are done click OK
and here we have the mold blocks the
core and cavity or just assign some
appearance
here if you click on the toning split
you will see the mall blocks are
selected at once but the whole file is
including three bodies the core the
cavity and the mobile cover and if we go
to the solid bodies you will see the
bodies over there and here is the mobile
cover and here we have the core on the
top is the cavity
for now I will suppress this feature and
we'll get back to it again suppressed
but in this case we will try to make a
total split on a different face and
select this sketch directly click on
tooling split select this face you'll
notice and sketch as we open click
normal to quickly make the rectangle and
as you notice click ok here we created a
block but on the wrong face so according
to the face which you are going to
select solid walls coming to create the
mold if we try to hide the upper block
hide you'll still see that the block is
laying between the parting surface but
this is not the correct positioning of
them the sketch because if we again show
the block you'll see there are not equal
in size here we have 55 and here the
link is 45 and if we go to the feature
we have here 50/50 so if you select the
wrong plane some work still will pick
the parking surface as the splitting
between the moles but you will get wrong
positioning of the law
so I will suppress or delete this
process and show our first block over
there and here hide this sketch
now let's try to move the blocks
move select on the block and can simply
drag click ok and again
we move the pool
I will have a look
Adam old from inside
so as we remember we pick at the shut
off surfaces and now you can see that
you can see that on the cavity of the
mold so as you remember we pick it the
shut off surfaces to be in the bouton
side of the cover and here you see here
on the cavity over there so we can also
hide the parking surface over there so
here we have our mall blocks
you
so one last thing in this tutorial if
you would like to save the blocks in the
separated files for further editing for
example making our runners and/or fixing
holes click on the solid bodies folder
and save bodies in order to save each
body in a separated file you can select
the body you need and then save it in an
aspirated part file
you
