The problem had been solved.
I attached the tutorial. Please kindly watch and wish
your comment.
It's first time to do it.
Thanks all

your part has some problems(self intersecting,
overlapping surfaces),try to find and repair them
first and then try to split. i found at least one, its
mirror surface on the other side of the part has problems
too:

this forum is dummy, it adds a space after each "-"
your sample.prt file contains an imported feature, edit
difinition that, select bad surfaces, delete them and
patch the resulting holes with boundary blend, whenever
you need to form a chain of edges, hold shift and select
edges. i'm saying that because i saw you had extended
edges one by one instead of chain of edges for your
parting
surface,same applies for boundary blend.

Thanks your explain. I understand the detail. By
the way, your picture is so close for me to clarify the
problem.

Are there any methods I can directly split or
copy the top.prt to MAKE a mold component WITHOUT this
complicate repairing method? I am not sure the "boundary
blend" meaning.
 
well, this is an imported part, that has problems in some
small surfaces, ProE compromises and solidifies it but
then when you want to split your mold block, it
encounters an error.I'm afraid you have to go back and
fix your imported geometry. this requires some experience
with surfacing and repair tools in IDD (Import data
doctor).
anyways, search for boundary blend on this forum and
elsewhere to findout about it. its an important surfacing
feature that helps you patch four sided areas.you have to
find those bad overlapping,self intersecting surfaces,
delete them and patch them with boundary blend. then
solidify and proceed with your molding operations.
