To Divide a Mass Element

Use this procedure to divide a mass element. The divide plane you specify splits the original mass element into two separate mass elements.

1. Select the mass element you want to divide.
2. Click Mass Element tab Modify panel Split By Plane.
3. Specify the divide plane start point.
4. Specify the divide plane endpoint.
   

   Dividing a mass element

   The original mass element is split along the divide plane, creating two mass elements.

   Note: Dividing a mass element creates free form mass elements. Due to the topological structure of the free form mass element, its facet deviation cannot be changed. The FACETDEV command will have no effect on an existing free form mass element.
