Hello,

I am trying to create a hole along the height of a concrete column with square cross section. I tried to use part trim option using curve line but it is only executable for shell element. Is there a way to delete solid elements and create circular shaft type hole in the column?

Thanks

Hi

I would create 4 edges for square, one hole in it (centre) create a face from them (surface tool : FillPin using these 5 edges).

Surface mesh face created.

Finally use Element generation tool to extrude into HEX elements along the length of column. 

 

 

All the best

Hi, 

Please try to use DEFINE_CURVE_TRIM_3D with DEPTH pram. 

Cheers, Ram

Thank you Erko for your reply, I could not implement exactly your solution but I got an idea from it. So I used trim option on 4n shell part and then created solid of it using solid-face-drag option.

Thank you Ram for your reply. I will try and see how it goes.
