NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
(OP)
thread561-195944: Extude cannot split target into multiple solids, Please Help
I have a iges model (Hollow from inside) which i want to cut into 2 equal pieces
But i have tried:
Split
Divide
Trim body
Extracting and then sew all the faces
But still every time it says bodies create into multiple bodies.
I am using NX7.5
I have attached the model for your reference - http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7...
Please help me ASAP

Attached is the split body file
RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
Probably also functions such as File - Export -Heal geometry will repair the part.
Just for fun, try placing a view of the model on a drawing and see how strange the result becomes.
* Use Information -Object and select some face-s, the arrow displayed should point out, not in.
( I did not check all faces, maybe 10 .)

RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
Also i have 3 other parts to be completed so please let me know how to create split onto it.
Please list down some steps for how to do
RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
To fix your file go to Insert> Synchronous Modeling> Optimize> Optimize Face, then select all of the body faces and and hit "OK". You should be able to split the body using the normal split command.
If that doesn't work, export the parts as STEP files (File> Export> STEP203) and either re-import them or open the STEP directly using File> Open and selecting the *.stp file type option.
RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
Actually today i am using NX6 workstation n not NX 7.5.
Is Optimize face command available in NX6????
exporting to .step and importing is not working....i tried it same problem....i even tried exporting to .parasolid n importing but same problem.
Please suggest
RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
Try File>Export>Heal Geometry as Toost noted earlier. It works to fix the file in NX7.5.
Attached is the STEP file I used.

RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
Thanks for your help and paras solid model.I have got 3 more other models to do the same.
I want to know how it can be done in NX6.so that i could apply it in other 3 also.
RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
if you read the thread above, you will notice that I have proposed the Heal Geometry option and that Mmauldin has commented on this and noted that the Heal Geometry works. I have now myself tried the Heal Geometry , in NX6, and again noted that it works.
Other users has reported that doing a Step Export -Import also repairs this model.
Is there anything more to say ?

RE: NX - Body not able to divide into two pieces
When you use the heal geometry option, are you aware that NX will create a new partfile containing the "healed" body ?
The one you "exported from" will not be changed in any way, you have to open the healed partfile and use that instead.
