I am using iterate raster in ModelBuilder to create hillshade and slope simultaneously for many rasters within one folder.
My problem is when I name the output files.
Whenever I use, %Name%, the model fails because the resulting output names include the file extension.
If I use %n%, it only creates one file.
Is there another way of naming output files where the original file name is retained but without the file extension?
If you try to output the iterate raster tool directly into raster calculator, you will only see the last iteration in the raster calculator layers and variables list. To get around this nuisance in model builder, use Collect Values to generate a list that you can pass off to Cell Statistics to do your calculations. Simply choose the "MEAN" overlay statistic and you will have your average grid calculations. You can always bring this average grid up in raster calculator if you need to make further calculations.
Here is the model, it uses inline substitution as described by Aaron. Note the output of the Polygon to raster tool is ..\fGBD_Scratch.gdb\ras_%Value%. Value is coming from the iterator which in this case was set to FID to hand out unique rows. So the first raster dataset would be ras_1, then ras_2, etc.

The Parse Path (ModelBuilder) should be able to meet your requirement.
If not, then a diagram of your model and more details would be helpful to try and provide a more targeted Answer.
