Split feature problem occured.

[CAnnondale]

Hi Guys,

 

Good day to all. I have another query to ask.

 

I do have an .ipt and wanted to apply "SPLIT" feature to create a multi body. But, after invoking on the first "SPLIT" feature it prompts an error message on the next "SPLIT" command.

 

1. Sweep a sketch into a derive 3D sketch

2, Create some sketch line to serve as splitting section.

3. Invoke the SPLIT feature. Select the first SPLIT section and the TRIM SOLID options.

4. Second is select the "SPLIT SOLID" option.Error message prompts.

 

Create parting line failed

Inner Jacket Drawing.ipt: Errors occurred during update

Split2: Could not build this Split

Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies.

 

It recommends to select options BUT, the SPLIT SOLID is waht I wanted too.

 

Any inputs on this matter is highly appreciated.

 

I have attached the .ipt using windows ZIP

I looked at this a bit and can't figure out what you are trying to do - it looks wayyy too complicated and all wrong to me - but maybe I just don't understand the design intent.

Your split sketch line should completey cut the solid (yours does not in the first Split feature you have created).

Hi JD,

 

Good day to you. Thank you for looking into this matter. And also sorry for the late reply, kinda busy designing for new projects.

 

Anyway, what I was trying to do here is to split the pipe shape into different lengths. And it is easier for me to this step rather than creating individual parts and assemble.

I understood that part, what I didn't understand is why you are doing the work the way you are. Looks like you are doing wayyyyy too much work - but maybe I just don't fully understand your particular problem. I am pretty busy right now - I will try to post an example of how I might do it (splitting the part into multibody is the way to go) if I get a chance.

Thank you again JD. will wait for that time then.
