As explained in another thread ( http://forum.featool.com/Integration-of-Current-Density-over-Slice-Intersection-tp180p182.html ) currently, a planar slice cannot be added during post processing such as might be used for integration:
In another thread ( http://forum.featool.com/Export-of-STEP-geometry-to-Gmsh-cut-with-plane-and-re-import-STEP-tp423p426.html ) a method is outlined whereby the equivalent functionality may be accomplished in the Geometry mode: Could this technique be implemented by a tool added to the Geometry Mode menu which would, for example, provide for the definition of a plane's perpendicular vector (x, y, z) and a contained point (x, y, z) which would then be used to bisect any/all selected objects? Perhaps a similar tool would be appropriate for the 2D and 1D modes. Kind regards, Randal |

Thank you for the suggestion Randall. I am working on updating the geometry engine with support for more CAD tool functionality and will eventually get around to incorporating a proper slicing tool, but it might take some time for this to be implemented and made available.

Good to hear. I must confess that what prompted me to suggest this was the trouble I was having with the dup&sub technique as reported here ( http://forum.featool.com/Adding-an-interior-boundary-by-duplication-and-subtraction-tp506.html ) Now that you have explained that my issue there was not my inability to properly create the boundary AND have provided a work around, this feature does not seem so urgent any more :-) Kind regards, Randal |
