VSBA, NV, NA, SEPO, KEEPV, KEEPA
Subtracts areas from volumes.
NVVolume (or volumes, if picking is used) to be subtracted from.
If ALL, use all selected volumes. If P, graphical picking is enabled (valid
only in the GUI) and remaining fields are ignored. A component name may also
be substituted for NV.
NAArea (or areas, if picking is used) to subtract. If ALL,
use all selected areas. A component name may also be substituted for NA.
SEPOBehavior of the touching boundary:
(blank) | — | The resulting volumes will share area(s) where they touch. |
SEPO | — | The resulting volumes will have separate, but coincident area(s) where they touch. |
KEEPVSpecifies whether NV volumes are
to be deleted:
KEEPASpecifies whether NA areas are
to be deleted:
Generates new volumes by subtracting
the regions common to both the volumes and areas (the intersection) from the NV volumes.
The intersection will be an area(s). If SEPO is
blank, the volume is divided at the area and the resulting volumes will be
connected, sharing a common area where they touch. If SEPO is
set to SEPO, the volume is divided into two unconnected volumes with separate
areas where they touch. See 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.
