ASBV, NA, NV, SEPO, KEEPA, KEEPV
Subtracts volumes from areas.
NAArea (or areas, if picking is used) to be subtracted from.
If ALL, use all selected areas. If P, graphical picking is enabled (valid
only in the GUI) and remaining fields are ignored. A component name may also
be substituted for NA.
NVVolume (or volumes, if picking is used) to subtract. If ALL,
use all selected volumes. A component name may also be substituted for NV.
SEPOBehavior if the intersection of the areas and the volumes is a line or lines:
(blank) | — | The resulting areas will share line(s) where they touch. |
SEPO | — | The resulting areas will have separate, but coincident line(s) where they touch. |
KEEPASpecifies whether NA areas are
to be deleted:
KEEPVSpecifies whether NV volumes are
to be deleted:
Generates new areas by subtracting the regions common to both NA areas
and NV volumes (the intersection) from the NA areas.
The intersection can be an area(s) or line(s). If the intersection is a
line and SEPO is blank, the NA area
is divided at the line and the resulting areas will be connected, sharing
a common line where they touch. If SEPO is set
to SEPO, NA is divided into two unconnected areas
with separate lines where they touch. See Solid
Modeling in the Modeling and Meshing Guide for an illustration. See the BOPTN command
for an explanation of the options available to Boolean operations. Element
attributes and solid model boundary conditions assigned to the original entities
will not be transferred to the new entities generated.
