Hello,
I have a 3D geometry and I need to cut half of it to create a symmetry plane.
Can you please describe the steps.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dimitris

Dimitris,

If you are using v4.3b the steps have been simplified a bit from previous versions.

Simply define a work plane that slices your geometry across the symmetry plane: (Right-click on Geometry and select Work Plane.)

Then, partition. (Right-click on Geometry and select Boolean Operations>Partition)

Add the object to partition to the list. Then select to "Partition with:" Work Plane and select your work plane.

(You can then use a Delete Entities operation to delete half your geometry if desired.)

Best regards,

Add a block and subtract it from your geometry. Then use symmetry boundary condition on the intersection.
