Dividing a solid body face
(OP)
is it possible to divide a solid body face?
i know in unigraphics/NX it is.

It depends what you need it for.
If you just need that divided surface as it is then you can extract the face fron solid using Extract function in GSD. Then use other GSD functionalities to divide that surface.
If you need to have that divided surface on solid then you can extract all faces of the solid, then divide the surface, then join all surfaces and make "Close surface" solid in Part Design.
Other way is for example to divide the line/curve already in the sketch which is used to make the feature (Pad/Pocket...).

Cut to desired shape
Use sew surface in soilds (no not simplify)
RE: Dividing a solid body face
i use this feature daily when i was on NX and was really surprised catia didn't have it. et al.
extracting surfaces and rejoining makes model basically dumb and i wanted to keep it smart

For die making, people can use solid operations, then use parting surface to get two halves.

You could try to extract all surfaces, reflection line feature to split the surface twice, for core and cavity, extrude and sweep to get the oversize needed to split the tool with. This will be an associative model, the extract is actually a smart feature.
