Split Body dialog box

Target
Select Body	Lets you select the sheet or solid bodies to split.
Tool
Tool Option	Lets you select the tool to use to split the body.Face or Plane lets you specify an existing plane or face as the splitting plane.New Plane lets you create a new splitting plane. Click Full Plane Tool to use the Plane dialog box to create a new plane, or select a plane creation tool from the options list.Extrude lets you extrude selected curves to split the body.Revolve lets you revolve selected curves to split the body.
Section
Appears only when Tool Option is set to Extrude, or Revolve.
Select Curve	Lets you select an existing curve or sketch a new section curve. The software extrudes or revolves the selected curve to split the body.
Direction
Appears only when Tool Option is set to Extrude.
Specify Vector	Lets you specify the direction in which to extrude the section curves. See Split a solid body using Extrude for more information.
Direction
Appears only when Tool Option is set to Revolve.
Specify Vector	Lets you specify the direction in which to revolve the section curves. See Split a solid body using Revolve for more information.
Axis
Specify Point	Lets you select a point to define the axis of rotation about which to revolve the specified section curves.
Simulation Settings
Create Mesh Mating Conditions	Controls whether the software automatically creates mesh mating conditions between the resulting bodies. If you select this option, when you switch from the idealized part to the FEM file, the software automatically creates a glue coincident mesh mating condition between the bodies. See Mesh mating conditions for more information.
Check for Sweepable Body	Temporarily changes the color of selected solid bodies to indicate whether the software is likely to be able to generate a 3D swept mesh on them. See Using color coding to indicate sweepable bodies for more information.Tip: Use the Sweepable Body customer defaults to customize the colors these colors.
Set Body Color	Applies the temporary colors to the associated polygon bodies in the FEM file to make the colors permanent.
