Ansys SpaceClaim – Split Body

The Split Body tool works in two modes:

• "Slow mode" is activated by clicking a Split Body tool guide. In this mode, once a tool guide is clicked, it remains selected until another tool guide is clicked. This mode works just like any other tool.

• "Fast mode" automatically activates tool guides and moves you through the workflow. This predictive mode allows you to box-select multiple cutters to add even more efficiency.

You can use the Split Body tool to:

• Split a body by its edges

• Split a body by its faces

• Split a body by a plane

You can select a body or surface from the Structure tree as the target and a plane from the Structure tree as the cutter.

When splitting with a plane passing through the entire body, some cuts may not be desired. Use the Local Slicing option to gain specific control over which cuts are applied.

In this tutorial you will learn to use Split Body tool using Ansys Spaceclaim. You can generate custom entry zones for simulations.
