Hello all,

 

In Hypermesh, Geom - 'surface edit' sub-panel, while using self intersecting surfs selection of 'trim with surfs/plane' radio button, it deletes any overlapping surfaces. 

 

I want to keep overlapping surfaces while using this trimming method.

 

Does anybody have an idea about how to do that?

 

Note:  Changing autocleanup settings doesn't help.

    Hi,

    Using Trim with surfaces option user can trim or split surfaces with another surface. This function  https://casenergy.org/phallosan-forte-review-results of the phallosan forte determines the intersection of the selected surfaces and another surface, and then trims the original surfaces at this intersection.

    When surfaces are trimmed, they are broken into smaller surfaces and the user can delete any unwanted surfaces.

     

    Hi Atakanerg, did you figure out how to do this at all?
