[GiDlist] Boolean operations for volumes
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2014 12:40 am
Hi,
I am trying to create a cylindrical hole using a boolean operation in GID.
I am having a simple cubic geometry (so I have 2 volumes- 1 cube and 1
cylinder which completely lies inside the cube)
[image: Inline image 6][image: Inline image 7]
I am simply using geometry - edit - boolean op. for volumes to subtract
the cylindrical volume from the cubical volume. But, this operation does
not create a cylindrical hole in the cubical domain but instead it's doing
something very strange like what the right figure shows (with an info
window saying volumes not closed). Is there something I am missing here for
the boolean operation to work in GID?
Thanks!
