how to use 'vovlap' and etc to solve volume problem?

how to use 'vovlap' and etc to solve volume problem?

how to use 'vovlap' and etc to solve volume problem?

(OP)
well, it's a little bit complicated, i appreciate your reading the description part. thank you!

two volumes, volume1 represents the surrouding environment(so to say the metal fluid used in the casting process), the other volume2 represents the inductor which should be immersed completely in volume1. i've created volume2 by using csys0, and then volume1 by using a self-defined csys15. now volume2 is completely inside volume1.  

well,volume1 consists of several sub-volumes, volume2 overlaps several of those sub-volumes.

my question is how can i sort of dig out volume2 first, and 'add' all the remaining sub-volumes of volume1 while a vacant room is reserved for volume2, so that i can put volume2 back after the whole 'adding' process of all the sub-volumes of volume1 is done?

hopefully that i've made myself understood, and hopefully i can get instant reply from some warm-hearted passers-by!!! hihi, thank you in advance.

RE: how to use 'vovlap' and etc to solve volume problem?

Hi zoe2008

It seems that you have more than 2 volumes defined, unless the sub-volumes you are refering to are 'voids'.

Unselect volume1 and volume2
Add all the sub-volumes of volume1
Do whatever operation you now need with volume2 reselected

Regards,

Tim
