Creating concept sections from an a surface model
Creating concept sections from an a surface model
(OP)
Hi,
New to v5 and I'm struggling to create concept and feasibility sections from an a surface model. How to cut a section through the surface, then add geometry to create a concept. Have tried the intersect command, but it takes about 10 mins to cut the a surface! Have tried sketcher, but I don't want a sketch linked to the surface - I just want to make a section similar to the way you do it in v4!Am I asking too much of this wonderful system? I am sure I am not the only one struggling with this..........any help much appreciated. Thanks

I am not a V4 operator but this should point you in the right direction.

Put your model in a product. Use Section from DMU workbench. The intersection result can be exported in different format files

I have since been told about the DMU section tool being the quickest way, then export result as a catpart to be used in a product. I'm using Teamcentre, so I don't want lots of sections/catparts floating around in there as they are temporary until the design surf has firmed up a bit, so I've put each section into a different geometric set within one part - this seems to do the job. I will try again the cutting in sketch plane with datum turned off to see which way is quickest.
Thanks again.....
