Splitting a suface into seperate bodies?

Splitting a suface into seperate bodies?

Splitting a suface into seperate bodies?

(OP)
I am new to surface modelling so any help on this would be great...

I want to draw a sketch on a surface then split that surface using the sketch into separate surface bodies. I would like to be able to do this in one feature?

I have tried using the split line feature which looks like it gives what I want however there is only one surface body, I want three for this example.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Splitline splits a surface body into separate faces. If you need 3 separate bodies. Do and offset of 0 for the middle one. Then delete face the original middle one. You should now have 3 separate bodies. Why do you need them as sepatate bodies? I hope this helps.

Thanks, I will try that. When I import the model in my FEA package it is easier to assign thicknesses if they are seperate bodies rateher than speerate faces :)
