The feature to create a cooling circuit model is not new, but some customer requirements and requests have been improved.

The algorithm for analyzing connected cooling holes has been improved. In addition to the EMX cooling bore holes and bore holes from Mold Design Waterline features, any other features can also be assigned to the cooling circuits. These features must be marked with the string parameter “BELONGS_TO_WATERLINE”.
Note: “BELONGS_TO_WATERLINE” is an internal Creo parameter. If this parameter is assigned, then this feature is also taken into account in the wall thickness analysis in Mold Design, for example. How to use the wall thickness analysis can be read in this linked chapter of the EMX tutorial.
A new radio group has been added to the dialog. Different assembly structures can be generated in the circuit model:
1. Two subcomponents (ejector side/nozzle side) are generated. The surface copies of the cooling circuits are sorted into the subcomponents according to their side.
2. Two subassemblies (ejector side/nozzle side) are created. In addition, a subcomponent is created for each connected circuit found and built into the assembly according to its side. Each circuit can be considered separately in an individual part.
3. A subassembly is created for each original part that contains a cooling hole. This means that the cooling holes of each original part can be considered separately.
