Subtract - Multiple Solid bodies with a single tool
Subtract - Multiple Solid bodies with a single tool
(OP)
I have a number of ribs (solid bodies) spaced evenly and I want to used another body (thickened sheet surface) which intersects all these ribs to be subtracted out of the ribs in on operation. Its this possible.
I know that the Subtract Boolean operation only accepts one target body.
Any solution or do I have to do this one at a time for all the ribs!
Thanks for any help

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I'm using NX v7.5 and yes my intention is to have this as a part file.
After this problem is solved it would be interesting to know how you would approach converting this to an assembly though.
Thanks!

Could any of the synchronous modeling operations be used to achieve a similar effect like replace face on multiple ribs?
Thanks a lot for your time.

This forum is an awesome source of NX info and largely because of your contributions!
Thanks Again!
