[ICEM] Trimming a a surface using a circle causing error

rohitkjohn · March 22, 2018, 04:40

Hello dear friends,

I am creating a section of a cylinder sector containing a liner with radial holes.
The steps I followed:
I created a cylinder through the cylinder curved surface (first image)
Then I created an intersection curve using these two surfaces (third image).
I used trim/segment surfaces to segment the curved surface using the curve made earlier. (fourth image)

But when I delete the segmented curve, I get a rectangle hole (fifth image) and not a circular hole. How do I fix this and get a circle hole?

Probably this is just a visualisation issue.
If you go the tree of Geometry and right click on Surfaces and select Show Full, then you'll see it is a circular opening.

It works. Thanks a lot Gert-Jan for your quick reply
