Casting - Die Node Inputs
The Casting-Die node provides the following process setup option:
• Corebox Cavity Calculation Mode: This PSO is defined on the Casting node. If this is set to
Opportunistic (the default setting in starting point VPEs), the number of corebox cavities is the maximum number of cavities that will fit along the length direction of the coremaking machine. If set to
Single Cavity, the number of corebox cavities is 1. The default setting is specified by the cost model variable
coreboxCalcMode (Opportunistic in starting point VPEs). See
Sand Casting Tooling—Core Making for more information.
• Draft Angle Check: Draft check settings allow you to determine whether aPriori checks for drafts
• Minimum Wall Thickness Check: This option allows you to determine whether aPriori checks minimum wall thickness feasibility.
• Maximum Wall Thickness Check: This option allows you to determine whether aPriori checks maximum wall thickness feasibility.
• Minimum Hole Diameter Check: This option allows you to determine whether aPriori checks for hole diameters that are too small to cast.
• Maximum Hole Depth Check: This option allows you to determine whether aPriori checks for holes that are too deep to cast.
• Minimum Edge Radius Check: This option allows you to determine whether aPriori checks for edge radii that are too small to cast.
