Designate a part or surface(s) on your model for the bottom die.
The bottom die is a stationary tool that is used as a
reference for all auto-positions. The location for the bottom die is always below the
blank.
-
Select an operation, then from the tool set that appears, select the
Bottom Die.
-
On the guide bar, choose Part or
Surfaces.
-
If you choose Part, on the model, select an option from
the table below based on your desired result, and then click to confirm.
-
If you choose Surfaces, on the model, select the
surface(s) you want to designate as the bottom die, and then click to
confirm.
Note: If you modify the blank thickness, you must reconfigure the tools created
by offset.
-
Define the stroke, velocity, and Coulomb friction coefficient.
-
In the microdialog, to set the stroke value to the closed position of
the tools, select . To specify a value, select the pencil tool
, type in a value, and press Enter.
Note: If you define the stroke value to be larger than the
auto-calculated or closed position, the open position of the tool
automatically repositions to match the stroke value to prevent a
collision with the bottom die.
-
To define the Coulomb friction coefficient, in the microdialog, enter a
value next to the icon .
-
Click to confirm.
