Split Body: Existing Edge

Feature requests
1

NX allows for splitting bodies using “extrudes”, which takes geometry like circular edges or sketch circles to split a body. See example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoSE8katyww

In an example below, it would enable the threaded trunnion to be split into two bodies using a circle (red).

Feature Request: enable splitting bodies with shapes other than planes.

Coming very soon, we are already working on this.

Is this what you’re trying to do?

Yes, exactly, thank you.

The downside to this workflow is the additional steps:

  1. Creating a plane
  2. Creating a sketch
  3. Creating circle
  4. Extruding Circle

The NX method is pretty quick/natural. I will think more about how to implement what you’ve shown more naturally, however.
