or you can trim to it

thanks for your reply.
I don't want to subtract or trim the body. I just want to split the single body into two bodies using its non-planar surface. Is it possible?
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
The trim body command is the one where a body is subtracted on a specified side of a surface or plane.
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
Not able to set a non-planar face as tool to split.
I am using NX8
Thanks
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
and make sure the menu is fully expanded with the toggles set the way you want them
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
The subtract is nice as well though didn't know you could do that!

in 'subtract' option, I am not able to select the 'face' as tool. It asks for 'body'.
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
The option exists and it works. Does the face you are attempting to use completely divide the body?
Perhaps a pic of what you are attempting to do would help.

Yes it works :)
But in some model it not works for me. I think I have not understood something properly. I am trying to use the face of the body itself to use as tool. please see the attached model. I want to split the model into 2 bodies & I want to use the spherical face as the tool. How to do it?
From the question by cowski "Does the face you are attempting to use completely divide the body?", I understands that the face which we are going to use as a tool should completely divide the face. In the attached model, the spherical face does not pass through the intersection. So in this case, how to split it?
Thanks

nx8 version
RE: Split Body using Non-planar surface?
So you could extract a copy of the spherical face to use as your "splitting object", but you are left with a hole in the top of the extracted face.
So your best bet actually would be to create a new "splitting object" as a sketched and revolved surface.
