Re: splitting of a body

Hello Kishor,

 

The use case is not clear. Can you please provide more information with some examples? ACIS provides apis which allows customer to boolean the body as they want so if you can identify the right tool you can get the desired result.

 

Regards,

Yogesh

Re: splitting of a body

Two ways come to my mind.

 

1) If you know that a portion of the surface lie along a plane you can create a plane using any 3 points from that region and then slice the input using that plane

2) You can identify the u,v parameter along which the curvature changes (not an easy job if there is not discontunity) and then create curve using these u,v param value and then embed that curve on the surface.

 

I would recommend considering the first approach.
