Creating a Core Extraction

You can create a core extraction feature placed into a new body, and referencing an existing body (the source body). It produces geometry useful in defining a core plate for molding the source body.

The output is associative, meaning if the source body changes, the core extraction geometry will automatically change.

The output geometry includes the core volumes and interior volumes from the source body. Features can be excluded, and an optional extraction properties feature can be used to include protected volumes. The output geometry behaves as an Added volume.

  1. Click Core Extraction .

    The Extraction Core dialog box appears.



  2. Select Body.1 as the source body.



  3. Click the Extract behavior list and select Extraction Properties.1.

  4. Click OK to confirm.



  5. Right-click PartBody and select Hide/Show to hide PartBody.

  6. Right-click Body.1 and select Hide/Show to hide Body.1.
