AutoCAD Inventor :: Split A Single Solid Body Into 2 Solid Bodies?
Sep 19, 2012
I'm trying to split a single solid body into 2 solid bodies. The problem is that the body I'm trying to split consists of two separate pieces. I can split a body when it is a single piece no problem, but I'm having the problem when the two pieces are not joined at all.
When I try and split it on the origin plane it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Could not build this Split"
When I try and split it on a work plane lying on one of the pieces it gives this error:
"Creating parting line failed. Modeling failure in ASM. Redefine inputs."
Or, another variation on this erorr:
"Creating parting line failed. Split feature could not create two bodies. Change the Split Tool so that split feature can create two bodies."

Is there a way to get that long tube and that rectangular part all around that middle circle.

Open this picture. In the end it would end up looking something like that lamp shade. I got one part down so is there a way to get a bunch of those around instead of redrawing it?

if i draw up a 3d sold part as the finished part, can i then draw a new rectangle solid body over the top of this and split the new solid body using the part as the split tool?
the idea being that i am left with a rectangular plate with a female 3d impression of the finished part in the top.I can't seem to use the part as a split tool?

I have a model with solid bodies. I have used the combine feature to make cuts outs in some plates. The geometry is complex to model so Extrude cannot be used for cuts.
The body used for the combine can be at different angles and sizes. Due to this some of the combine features will not be needed or have no effect. This leads to the error message:
" The feature as specified did not change the number of faces (and may not have affected the part). Accept the feature that resulted, or use Edit Sketch or Edit Feature to change the feature definition." Is there anyway to suppress this feature automatically using i Logic?

I have an assembly file for a fan casing. We reuse this model and scale it up and doen depending on the size of fan.
For transportation we split the caing into several parts and join using flanges. The number and angle of splits changes depending on the job and geometry.
To model this we share a sketch through the parts and use the split solid command to split them.
I would like to able to create sub assemblies from the main assembly so that drawings and masses can be obtained for the sub assemblies. However, the 'Demote' command does not allow you pick individual solids from a multi solid part.
I have tried creating new parts from the split solids but these are not in the correct location as they are not constrained correctly.
Is there a way to use the Demote command as I am proposing? or is there a different method to split my parts?

Is it possible, via VB, to modify solidbodies color ?
Actually, I need to modify part color. But in some cases, the part color and the solidbody color are not the same. So I need to modify the Solidbody color, to match the part color.
I found the bodies in ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies, but I can't find something like ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Item(1).color.

Open the attached file 207665-124.ipt. how their is only one Solid Body, but the iam needs to be updated because the user added one more part to the assembly. As soon as it updates now instead of one Solid Body I have 2. I don't want 2 and this is not typical. Even if I derive the 207665-120 into a brand new part file, it is only one body. What is causing this to seperate into 2 bodies? I tried to re-create this from scratch and can't, but he has several files like this that need updates and the 2 bodies causes problems with the holes.

I have a pressure vessel which I am trying to analyse. Whenever I convert the solid into 'thin bodies', it loses some of the data. For example, a fillet and a supporting ring (refer to pic attached). I haven't been able to find any 'shell element' settings to adjust.
Also, I need to manually add contacts otherwise the vessel seperates into multiple bodies.
Even though the solid model is in contact, the 'midsurface' shell seperates it. Refer to part file attached.
I briefly tried to run the analysis as a solid model, but gave up as it was taking forever just to mesh.

I'm creating a template part to line the inside of a wall with wall boards. All the boards are drawn as an array of seperate solid bodies which are to be made into components once the windows and appertures have been extruded out.
The problem is when the wall changes to a shorter length and then back again. the solids are re-created and the extrusion e.g. Window1 does not have the new solids in it's effected solids list, so I get an error.
Is there a way to set the extrusions "effected solids" (Not sure if that's the correct term) to all the solids all the time through iLogic or the API?

I have a Hole that cuts through 2 solid bodies, a gasket and a cover plate. I want to pattern the hole in BOTH solids at the same time, but the pattern feature dialog box will only let me select one solid at a time. I could pattern the hole in one solid before projecting to the other, but the quantity of the holes can change. When the quantity of the holes changes only the holes from the initial pattern are projected. For instance if I have 10 hole initially and it increases to 12 the 2 new holes do not project to the second solid body.

I'm trying to do a stress analysis on assembly with a mixture of thin bodies and solid bodies. The problem is that when I create the automatic contacts they are created as either all thin body or all solid body contacts. This of course causes the analysis to fail. It appears that there is no way to make a thin body contact become a solid body contact or vice versa.
I tried to run the entire thing as solid bodies but the I had to stop the analysis after 18 hours of continuous processing. (and a memory upgrade)

I'm currently using the "Make components" feature to convert solid bodies into parts. This works great, but we use this method to construct angular roof structures, and after the parts have been made the parts have angular relationships to the .ipt files UCS co-ordinates. It would be very useful if I could align the longest edge of the part (Which is a timber truss) with the x axis in the model space and "lay" the plank flat on the X-Y plane.

i used to use Solidwork's sweep-cut with a solid body feature but i can't find it in Inventor now.
Procedure:
In part file;
Create a second solid body (must be axis-symetric, like revolved feature),
Create a path that intersects with the solid (can be a line or a curve),
Sweep the solid along the path with cut command.
I need this where the sweep-cut with a profile is not enough, to get surfaces obtainable by milling on a cylindirical body on a helical path.

I'm making drawings of assemblies in Inventor 2012 and was wondering how to turn off the visibility of specific solid bodies within a single part containing multiple bodies, or make it match the visibility in the assembly and part file itself.
In particular my situation is that I have a camera whose part model includes a solid body for its view cone. The visibility of this solid is turned off, so when opening the camera itself, or the assembly containing it, it doesn't appear, but when I place that assembly or part in a drawing it's included, and the only way I've figured out to get rid of it is to turn the whole camera's visibility off within the drawing.

I want to make an ipart of a container with as customizable parameters (the Diameter and the Volume of one of the solid bodies).
[URL]...
Here comes the problem:
when i was changing the volume parameter, i recieved an error that this property was read-only.is it possible te use the volume calculation from inventor the calculate back to the diameter or height? ,and also for a solid body?
If so, what do i need to do? I am using inventor 2013 (basic).

I've created an assembly by using "Make Components" from a part comprised of solid bodies. If I suppress a feature in the "Control Part.ipt" (the part that holds all the solid bodies) it removed the part from the assembly, but it does not remove it from the BOM. What do I have to do to make the BOM follow what the assembly looks like?

I have a multibody surface part, which is derived from a multibody part. Therefor there are multiple contiguous surface parts that are isolated from each other.
Is there a way to STITCH or convert one of these contiguous surfaces into a solid part ?
Note: I tried the THICKEN tool but the hole features do not come out right. Some holes are missing or the hole depths are wrong.

I have been working for an hour trying to add this split to this part. I have an extruded surface (ExtrusionSrf10) that I need to use as the parting line. When I try this all I get is a "Create parting line failed.....Errors occurred during update".
I have done this many times on other parts, this one is being a pain. I need the split to have two solids when its done. The reason that I want this is so I can sculpt out a portion of this block.
The file is about 15mb. Here is a link to it.
