Creating a Solid Split
Volume splitting does not alter workpiece or die block geometry. On the contrary, when you create a Solid Split, the system mainly does the following as it cuts the material from the workpiece or die block:
• Trims the reference model from the solid if you use the Reference Part Cutout split option
• Intersects the split component by one or more parting surfaces. You can select any quilt as a parting surface or you can proceed without selecting any quilt.
• Creates islands in the original part as a result of the previous operations
From the islands that are created by these operations, you can select the islands to be kept in the original part. From the islands that are not kept in the original part, the system cuts out the geometry and creates a quilt. The system can use this quilt as follows:
• Add the quilt to an existing component as an Extract feature
• Create a new component and extract the quilt geometry into it
• Create a new volume
• Do nothing with the quilt
