CL Basic Tutorial Step 5

Step 5: Forming the Hole

Now, the cylinder can be subtracted from the brick to form the hole in the block. Issue the following command:

cubit> subtract 2 from 1

Note that both original volumes are deleted in the Boolean operation and replaced with a new volume (with an id of 1) which is the result of the Boolean operation Subtract .

The result of this operation is a single body, a brick with a hole through as shown below:

We have now completed creating the geometry, and are ready to generate a mesh.
