How to make jolts and bolts out of two frozen bodies?

How to make jolts and bolts out of two frozen bodies?

How to make jolts and bolts out of two frozen bodies?

(OP)
I try to make a truss model with bolts and jolts on the foundation area. Instead of using point-and-line with default cross-section method in Ansy to draw a truss model, in which I realize it impossible to modify any structure component such as cutting a bolt hole in between the line section, I go with the traditional way as draw each component independently and assemble them in the final stage. However, while I'm setting all components to "Frozen Bodies" and try to make a bolt hole which penetrate both bodies out of using slice method. The part that i sliced out is a cylindrical solid staying in the model which is not a hollow cylindrical one that can fit a jolt. I am stuck in this part for quite awhile.

Have you tried to "Unfreeze" the cylinder body, then applying the slice?

I think I get it. I slice the material and use Boolean operation to delete any unwanted surface!
