Enter the following values:
WPx = 0, WPy = 0, Rad-1 = 0, rad-2 = 150, depth = 80
Now, we create the die-backer extrusion passage by creating a block
in the die-backer and then subtracting it from its volume.
Preprocessor → modeling → create → volumes → block → by
center,cornr…
Enter the following values: WP = 0, WPy = 0, Width= 74, height = 74,
depth = 80
Preprocessor → modeling → operate → Boolean → subtract → volumes
Now, pick first the volume of the die-backer via mouse. Click apply.
Now pick the volume of the block. Click OK.
To move the working plane to a new origin, type the following in the
ANSYS command window: WPAVE,0,0,270
