2.3. Importing Dies
In the previous lab, a deformable workpiece was defined for the problem. Now it is time
to import the dies. At the bottom of the Object Tree, click the Insert object  icon
twice – Top Die and Bottom Die will get added to the Object Tree.
2.3.1. Top Die
Highlight Object 2 in the Object Tree and change the Object Name to Top Die. Define
the geometry of the Top Die by clicking  and then . Go to the
DEFORM3D\V6_1\Labs directory and open Block_TopDie.STL. The geometry of the
Top Die should be visible in the DISPLAY window. It is good practice to check the
geometry of an object after it is imported into DEFORM to make sure it doesn’t have any
problems. To check the geometry, click the  button. A GEOMETRY
CHECKING window will appear which gives a summary of the object’s geometry (See
Figure 2.2). For an object that has a closed volume, there should be 1 surface, 0 free
edges, and 0 invalid entities (as circled below).  Objects that are imported as surfaces and
not solids will have a free edge but should still only have 1 surface.
