Mold Design - Split cavity in two in order to create two sliders

Hello. I have to recreate a mold for a college homework. How can I split the cavity and make the sliders out of them ?

I've uploaded some images. Thanks !

Right click on your project folder. Select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder. Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

I've attached the project.

Let's try one more time.

Right click on your project folder. Select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder. Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

I do not own a rar extractor - I have only Windows OS for compressing/extracting files.

It should work now. I'm sorry.

Can you Zip and Attach the original part file here (I did not see it your folder)?

I attached it.

I managed to solve the problem. I've split the cavity and created the slider by modeling inside the assembly. Maybe there is an easier way.

Normally it's a not too complicated part for molding, and this should be possible inside the Mold Design environment.

But I've got some issues with missing files, and it's hard cleaning them up.

Glad to see, that you've got a result outside of Mold Design.
