Hello all -

I am attaching a batch file which produces a voronoi tessellation with 10 volumes and 3 spherical objects. Is there a way to remove the volumes from voronoi tessellation that the spherical particle is occupying.

Since the cube edge is 1, the total volume should be 1. The total volume in this case becomes greater than 1.


TIA

Hello,

Your spheres are intesecting other volume boundaries, then it's necessary to
create all intersections between surfaces. and create the volumes with the
new boundaries.

If you only have two volumes, can try to use the volume boolean operations
to substract the sphere to the other volume.
Geometry-Edit-Volume boolean operation-Substract

But this operation is not available for to substact a group of volumes (your
spheres) from another group of volumes.

If a volume is completelly inside other volume, can convert in a hole of
this other volume with
Geometry-Create-Volume-Hole
(this operation is faster and more stable than boolean operations because
it's not necessary to calculate intersections)
