Extra faces after core operation
Extra faces after core operation
(OP)
When I create a mold cavity and then extract out a corepin using the core function, I end up with separate faces at the area where the core is extracted from the steel and the area where the core is part of the mold cavity. This shows up on the drawing as a line that is misleading because it doesn't represent any change in the geometry of the pin surface. I can delete, extend, knit and form a solid to remove this line, but is there something else that I could be doing to eliminate this?

RE: Extra faces after core operation
Do you have the right number of solid bodies in your Solid Bodies folder? Make sure you don't have a thin slice of your core/cavity from the core-out feature.
The only other thing I can think of is that this is from a difference of shrink rate applied to various pieces of the mold--perhaps double-check that. When I do this sort of thing, I add my shrink rate to my part instead of the cavity feature--easier to keep track of things and avoid mistakes that way.

I don't get surfaces, just faces and the only option I can see is to delete the face not to hide it.
There are no extra solid bodies, but I have run into that before.
I apply my shrink to the part as well and use the combine (subtract) feature in a multibody part file to remove the cavity (part) from the cavity block.
