problem operations with solids

[gioakk]

Hello, everyone!

I apologize if the topic has already been dealt with, I looked at the forum, I saw some discussions but I did not understand how I can solve my problem.
I wanted to understand how it was possible to perform operations with solids, data type 2 solids that have an intersection, if there was a command that from a solid removes the part of the other that intersects it. My specific problem is about intersections with tubes, since then I have to get headers for laser cutting.
the operation (which is not well as:biggrin must be done in assembly environment or even in part environment?

Thank you for your help!

in the "part" environment is called "abbina" or "divid".
in the environment together is called "cavity" or "conjuncts".

in both cases a f1 (and a nice spin with tutorials) does not spoil.
I'm not lost time.

if you do so in assembly, change part, you can use the command "cavity" or make a cut using the tube section as a profile that remains intact.
if you do it in the environment part you can use the function "Structural elements" within the welding environment to obtain from the reticular structure all the pieces cut to size.
see the eelp for boldly highlighted commands

depends on what you have to do. . .

Thank you so much! Your answer was very helpful, only that doesn't fit me. If I do the subtraction between two tubes, the tube where I'm stuck removes it and leaves me only that head cut right. My question is, is there a command to keep it?

 

[Oldwarper]

both with dividing and matching asks you what to do with various bodies. depending on the cases you can keep them, remove them, remove only some, keep only some.

cavity was born to dig and then takes a body from another, like a mold.

but if for example I have 2 tubes and I want to head one on the other, if I use the command match and do subtract, I get the tube intact, but the main one disappears... Now I can't find the :frown setting:, maybe it's my conceptual error, I'm not yet practical and I read on the guide but I can't solve this problem.. .

better if you place an example. and then, specify which command you use.

 

[gioakk]

the command I use is combined, in the prt I have 3 tubes. in the command select the main tube (the one that will be cut by others) and the other 2 are those that remain entire. the problem is that after me only the cut tube remains, the other 2 tubes disappear. I don't understand what setting I have to give to avoid this.. I'm desperate. . .

I suggest you use the weldment environment.
if you attach the file we give you the solution.

 

[gioakk]

I attach an example, in my case geometry is too complicated given the amount of pipes. to me just understand the correct reasoning in the example I have 3 tubes I would like to keep the longest as main tube. the others would like to cut them accordingly so that they graft on the central so that the solids are no longer cylinders, but cylinders that near the main tube take the correct cut.
I tried with match, but my problem is that while getting the correct shape of the tube to head the others they erase me... :frown:

 

[marcof]

both with dividing and matching asks you what to do with various bodies. depending on the cases you can keep them, remove them, remove only some, hold only some

but this in 2011? to me in 2010 the command dividing allows only to merge, subtract or make the common part without selecting which body or part of it hold.

 

[gioakk]

in fact I have 2010 :frown:, but it seems strange that you can not do it. I'm trying to see using the weldment environment, let's see if I can do something. .

If the structure is complicated the welding environment makes it easier for you to work. You just need to create your tube profiles.
I looked at your file, and even if it's an example, I point out that, in that case, it doesn't make any sense to shape with sweeps cylinders; It's like going shopping with the shuttle. make simple extrusions.
I attach your file with two added cuts that shape the pipes as you need, although the right procedure to do these things is the welding environment with the structural elements.
[edit] I looked at the procedure you used to make those three tubes: need to do the tutorials; You can't randomly knock out lines and plans. learn end six in time because if you venture into a complex project in this way you don't come out anymore.

 

[gioakk]

They were straight. Mea culpa! the fact is that in my case many are curved and to do that example I didn't think about much... Thanks for the help!

 

[SolidUser]

The boys are right.
No quota.
No relationship.
run the tutorials.
use welding environment.

Thank you so much to all!

I looked into the weldment environment and there's everything I need with the short/long function!
