    Hi,

    1.Create that many components for multiple draw.

    2.The option 'SINGLE' assumes that a single die will be used and it slides in the given drawing direction. The bottom surface of the considered casting part is the predefined contra part for the die. The option 'SPLIT' implies that two dies splitting apart in the given draw direction will be used to cast the part described in this DTPL card. The splitting surface of the two dies is optimized during the optimization process.

    Refer Optistruct user guide for detailed information. PFA thumbnail.

    Regards
