How to trim this surface?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Dear All,
I don't know whether I am asking a very basic question. But Really appreciate your helps.

I want to delete the intersection plane of two axial cylinders as shown in attachments. (image 1/2)

I followed following steps;
1. Made surface-surface interaction by a Bspline in to two parts. (image 3)
2. Segment/Trim the curved surface by using created curve in step 1.

But in this matter, the curved surface cannot trim and only damage the surface. (see in attachments: image 4)

I have used this method to trim intersecting surfaces in many cases as cylinder-cylinder or cylinder-rectangular plane.

Then why this happens only in this situation?

Redo the surfaces with the option "from 2 or 4 curves" and retrim.
that should work.

Why you want to trim that surface?

Dear All,
Thanks a lot for replies.
I couldn't trim it with the option "from 2 or 4 curves", but worked with the option, "surface of revolution". I don't know why ICEM is not allow to trim a circular surface, but other shape of surfaces.

Dear Far,
I want to trim that one to make the flow path. Actually this is not the real geometry, is a trial.

placing the two materials points with same name will do the job.

Any how for learning purpose this exercise is good and necessary.

Is it possible to trim a surface by surface in ICEM?

sakurabogoda March 5, 2013 05:18

Try with trim by "By connectivity" option (no experience with this). But I always do trim in two joint surfaces by making a curve on joint line. You can do this using "surface surface intersection".

Build topology would do it I think.

Far March 5, 2013 07:17

Not directly. First you have to create the curve at the intersection of two surfaces and then go to surface tool and segment surface by these curves you have just created.

Build topology is awesome tool, give it try and you will save alot time. But some times it is tricky to handle it.

problem in trimming
 
I am unable to trim the NACA0002 surface from domain around it. Kindly let me know the issue and how could I solve it. All other NACA are working well just NACA0002 encountered the problem.
