As part of the R2026x FD01 user assistance deliverables, SIMULIA R&D developed two 3DEXPERIENCE tutorials that demonstrate workflows for creating runner components and mold cooling channels using the Plastic Injection and Geometry Idealization Essentials apps.
In the first tutorial, see Creating Sketch-Based Mold Cooling Channels, you work with a plug design model that includes four cavities, a runner system, and a sketched mold cooling channel. Using the Geometry Idealization Essentials app, you create the centerline of a second cooling channel and generate the corresponding cylindrical cooling channel geometry. After completing the cooling channels, you open the model in the Plastic Injection app to define a plastic injection molding simulation.
In the second tutorial, see Creating Sketch-Based Runner Components, you use the same plug design model to create solid geometries for the runner system components, such as sprues, runners, and gates. In the Geometry Idealization Essentials app, you apply predefined geometric profiles to sketched lines to generate the runner components. Once the runner system is created, you open the model in the Plastic Injection app to define a plastic injection molding simulation.
Special thanks to @MA and @XZ for their valuable contributions to the development of these tutorials.
