What is the procedure in DFM Concurrent Costing's Injection Molding process to model insert molding?

For insert molding, adjust the Inserts per cavity input field (located at the bottom of the main process response panel) to indicate the number of inserts placed in a single cavity. After changing the Inserts per cavity field to a value greater than 0, click the "Injection mold" operation on the process chart to display the Injection molding response panel. In the Molding process data box, there is now a Mold insert cost per part response. Enter the insert cost per part and click the Calculate button. Also, the time for loading a single insert into the mold cavity can be adjusted using the Time to load one insert response.
