gwardman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hello, I use INOVATE to preprocess models for use in NEi Nastran. Many times, I have a single assembly in the scene and this assemply has multiple components. Say, for example, I want to split the whole assembly in half to create a symmetric model. The only way I know of, is to use the Split Part command for each part. This means creating a box that intersects each part to establish the cut surface. So if I have six parts in the assembly, I have to do 6 Split Body commands. There must be an easier way. Anbody have a suggestion.

IronKevin Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 You can right-click and drag out an H Block, choose Assembly Feature option and cut all the parts in one operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlehnhaeuser Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Geoff thing to note this only cuts the parts in the assembly state, if you need each part actually cut then you will need to select the "Create Part Feature" on the Assembly feature.
