Hello, I've replicated the issue on my side, we'll have a look at it and let you know.
bug in devop #2566
Eric, your issue can be solved by using a "Surface" value instead of "BoundingBox" value of the Method property in CutBeamByBeamData class, when cutting by a negative volume:
<CutBeamByBeamData>
<ModifiedObject>
<TypeName>BeamData</TypeName>
<Id>2</Id>
</ModifiedObject>
<CuttingObject>
<TypeName>BeamData</TypeName>
<Id>11</Id>
</CuttingObject>
<IsWeld>false</IsWeld>
<WeldThickness>0</WeldThickness>
<WeldType>NotSpecified</WeldType>
<Offset>0</Offset>
<Method>Surface</Method>
<Orientation>Default</Orientation>
<PlaneOnCuttingObject>Closer</PlaneOnCuttingObject>
</CutBeamByBeamData>
You can notice that in the GUI, no option other than "Surface" is available for cuts by a negative volume. We will update the IOM documentation accordingly, so that this is clearly stated.
Hello,
I've encountered a bug when creating negative volumes and CutBeamByBeam operations to cope my connections. When the IdeaCON file first loads, the CutBeambyBeam operations are not loaded into the file as shown below:
It isn't until the user clicks on the "Cut Beam by Beam" operations on the right that the file updates and you can see the correct connection detailing.
This creates a concern for me when I'm doing generative design as the evolutionary solver cannot run the CBFEM as it thinks there's a singularity with the file even though it's perfectly fine.
I've attached the file in question along with the XML file here: Coped End Plate.zip

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
