Design rules for Casting can be activated with the Advanced User Settings. Manufacturing specific settings can be made to create optimized results tailored for casting.

configuration.strategy=Casting

tool.tool0.draft=5
tool.tool0.direction.x=1
tool.tool0.direction.y=0
tool.tool0.direction.z=0

tool.tool1.draft=5
tool.tool1.direction.x=-1
tool.tool1.direction.y=0
tool.tool1.direction.z=0

The strategy setting initializes a casting optimisation.

The draft defines the tapering angle of the ribs / walls.

Each tool entry is a draw direction for the whole Design Space.

 

A second optional tool realizes an additional draw direction.

Draw Directions need to be added as a vector. At least one is desired. There is no maximum limit but more directions will increase the calculation time.
Draft is the tapering angle for walls/ribs regarding the Draw Directions. Specified in degree.
The Rounding Radius value influences the behavior of the erosion. Smaller values can create more ribs and cavities in the same area as higher radii. It also corresponds with the fillet radius of the connection from ribs to other structures. A default value is defined which depends on the chosen Complexity value.
