Quality, manufacturability, and ease of creation of the Parting Surface are all improved. Parting Surface directional control allows users control over the direction in which the parting surface will radiate from the parting line.
User Experience Value
Communication of mold information pertaining to manufacturing has been improved. Colors are assigned automatically to the faces of mold geometry to let manufacturing know if they touch the design part, touch shutoff geometry, or are undercut. New User Profiles allow common options, such as mouse 3D navigation, to be common across all relevant apps on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.

Parting surface seam extension direction can be set manually if desired by selecting either coordinate system X, Y and Z direction, direction relative to geometry such as datum planes, or direction relative to a sketched entity. In addition, seams can be blended to smooth rough areas.
Multiple parting surface seams can be selected at once including the ability to select first and last with all others in between being selected automatically.
Mold Face Classification allows users to automatically color the faces of the mold component based on where the face is in contact with the part model, another mold component, is touching nothing, or has an undercut.
