Description:

This function allows you to quickly copy a part by splitting it in two.

General procedure:

Split the part in two: there will be the piece of the part that is not affected by the forming operation and the other piece of the part to be stamped.

Remark: This function can also be used to isolate a surface area of the part, for example, to design the trimming surface of a forming punch or die.

1. Select the boundary edges used to cut the part.

2. Apply a transformation to the result, if necessary.

Available option(s):

IMPRINT AN EDGE ON PART allows to create a missing edge on the part. This edge will be include to the selection of the boundary edges. This option is the same as the TopSolid'Design cut face function or the TopSolid'Progress cut face function.

Continue automatically = YES automatically extends the edges selected on the part.

Check if selection of edges is closed = YES allows you to visualize with red markers holes on the contour created by the selected edges if the selection is not closed.

You can apply a transformation to the cut part.    

Particular remark(s):

This function is non-associative.

It is is available in a TopSolid'Design document: Progressive die | Cut part
