I am attempting to partition a component and am getting a point collapse, destroying a curved surface that is needed in the component. The partition is desired as there are two separate materials in this product that are bonded. Is there a way to avoid this collapse?

    Hi,

     

    Is it possible to share the file?

     

    also, which option are you using to split the solid in solid edit panel?

    I cannot share the file as it is for a university client. I am using trim with lines, bounding and with sweep lines gives the same effect

    creating node points along the lines of interest and using Solid Edit - trim with plane/surf fixed the issue
