Creating Splits

Split lets you split a body with a plane, a face, or a surface.

  1. Click the Splitting Element box from the Split.x dialog box and select a plane, a face or a surface.
  2. In the Extrapolation Type list, select any of the following:
    • None: Splits a solid when a splitting element intersects the free edges of a solid. By default, this option is selected.
    • Tangent: Extrapolates the splitting element tangentially and splits a solid. You can use this option when the splitting element is too short to intersect any of the faces of the solid to split.
    • Curvature: Extrapolates the splitting element in a curvature and splits a solid. You can use this option when the splitting element intersects at least one of the face of the solid to split.
  3. Click OK.
    Material is removed. Only one pad is split as the surface splits the 3D representation when they intersect it. Split.x node is added to the tree.
