Surface Cut/Trim
Surface Cut/Trim
(OP)
Does anyone know if you can cut multiple surfaces with one cut feature? I'm using WF2 and it only lets me cut one surface at a time. My entire model is a surface model going to be used for CFD analysis and only half the model is needed. It will take me all week trying to cut this model in half if I have to make a cut for each surface feature.
Any suggustions?

RE: Surface Cut/Trim
If yes, you need to go
Edit Defifinition->Edit->Feature Properties->and check the Join surfaces box
So that the surface model is made of 1 quilt.
RE: Surface Cut/Trim
AFAIK unless you've got solids, it won't work in a single surface trim, unless you can somehow merge every surface together (you likely don't want to do that either).
RE: Surface Cut/Trim
I then tried the mapkey idea and that did cut down on the time required to do it. It only took me a few hours to have the model cut in half.
Thanks for both your suggestions.

Iges_out_all_srfs_as 128
Iges_out_spl_crvs_as_126 YES
Iges_out_spl_srfs_as_128 YES
Iges_out_trim_xyz YES
Iges_out_mil_d_28000 NO
Iges_out_trm_srfs_as_143 NO
Iges_out_JAMAIS_compliant NO
Iges_out_trim_curve_deviation DEFAULT
Intf3d_out_extend_surface No
When you generate the iges model now the model will be all one quilt. I'm not sure why, but I wish my fellow co-workers would have showed me this earlier...

Or create an envelope part and make the cut after.
Just some ideas after the fact.
