For FEA, I usually slice the models by first creating Planes in XYPlane and then slicing the model into a sector model. Since these planes are in cartesian so they are orthogonal to each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Recently I started with models having curved blades for which a quadrant sector model is not sufficient to capture the blade curve. Is there any other way to slice the whole symmetric model into a sector of the impeller with a curved blade ?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance.<a class=\"wp-colorbox-image cboxElement\" href=\"https:\/\/grabcad.com\/library\/centrifugal-impeller--1\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Example of Impeller model\" src=\"https:\/\/grabcad.com\/library\/centrifugal-impeller--1\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Saad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-283063","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-design-modeler","topic-tag-centrifugal-impeller-1","topic-tag-pre-processing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["270478","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.44.170.21"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["463"],"_edit_lock":["1683638641:200244"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["283063"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","270478"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["283096"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["283096"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-05-09 15:12:05"]},"test":"saadajmalsultanhotmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/283063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/283063\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
