Hello All,
I am new to Solidwroks. So please pardon my ignorance if this question is too basic.
I have an assembly consisting of solid and surface bodies (like a long cylinder - surface body - with thick flange - solid body - on top). I would like to cut the assembly longitudinally along the cylinder center so that I can export only half the model for FE analysis and make use of symmetry in FEA.
Problem is when I try to use assembly cut feature, it only cuts the flange (i.e. solid body). Is there a way to to cut both solid and surface parts of assembly together?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Chandresh,
Sorry, SolidWorks handles solids and surfaces differently, so you really need to do two operations. You can use the same sketch. Use the sketch to Cut the solid and Trim the surface.
