Split

You use the Split tab to apply fixtures or external forces to a section of a face instead of the whole face. The Split tab divides selected faces by either projecting a sketch on the selected faces, or by intersecting faces between two touching components.

Type of Split

  • Sketch. Splits a face by projecting a sketch on it. You can use an existing sketch or click Create Sketch to create a new sketch. The sketch and the face to split must belong to the same body.

  • Intersection. Splits a touching face between two bodies in contact. The two bodies must have touching edges or faces.
