      </table><br><p class="para_topic">Use <b class="uiTerm">Mount</b> to attach your die components and sheet metal parts to the current press model. Mount associates your die component  to other components available in the press model, for which you have defined the motion properties. You can manually identify  the mount point for each of your die components or use <b class="uiTerm">Auto-Mount</b> and let NX choose the mount points. After mounting,  NX applies the motion associated with the mount point to the data during the simulation. The data is associative and  is updated if you modify the data.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">The number of operations and the availability of mount points depend on the press model you attach. Typically, a press model  has one or more operations and sometimes, a De-Stacker on the front of the line, and Part Unload operation at the end of the  line. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">One or more of the following mount points are available for each operation: </p>

You can use <b class="uiTerm">Machine Base</b> to mount data which has no motion. Intermediate stations, De-Stacker, and Part Unload  operations have a single <b class="uiTerm">Transfer</b> mount point.
