How to split a "ring"? 1

[CNSZU]

Hello,

Is it possible to split a ring (extruded solid with a thickness) into two solids? See attached image where the split is supposed to be. The Split Body tool gives the message "The tool and target do not form a complete intersection". Any ideas about the "proper way" to accomplish this task?

PS: the split tool works if the two lines intersect the center of the ring, however in this case the lines are supposed to be parallel.

It works if you connect the lines.
