VSBV, NV1, NV2, SEPO, KEEP1, KEEP2
Subtracts volumes from volumes.
NV1Volume (or volumes, if picking is used) to be subtracted from.
If ALL, use all selected volumes. Volumes specified in set NV2 are
removed from set NV1. If P, graphical picking
is enabled (valid only in the GUI) and remaining fields are ignored. A component
name may also be substituted for NV1.
NV2Volume (or volumes, if picking is used) to subtract. If ALL,
use all selected volumes (except those included in the NV1 argument).
A component name may also be substituted for NV2.
SEPOBehavior if the intersection of the NV1 volumes
and the NV2 volumes is an area or areas:
(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. |
KEEP1Specifies whether NV1 volumes are
to be deleted:
KEEP2Specifies whether NV2 volumes are
to be deleted:
Generates new volumes by subtracting
the regions common to both NV1 and NV2 volumes
(the intersection) from the NV1 volumes. The intersection
can be a volume(s) or area(s). If the intersection is an area and SEPO is
blank, the NV1 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, NV1 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. VSBV,ALL,ALL
will have no effect because all the volumes in set NV1will
have been moved to set NV2.
