How to split a cylinder say 10 times?

Erik Kostson

Is there a way using scripting say to automatically split a cylinder along a direction say 10 times?

Erik Kostson

Below is one possible way of doing this:

# Python Script, API Version = V242

# Create Datum Plane
selection = FaceSelection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[0].Faces[1]) # base plane to use for split
result = DatumPlaneCreator.Create(selection, False, None)
# EndBlock

for ii in range(1,11,1):

    # Translate Along Z Handle
    selection = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().DatumPlanes[0])
    direction = Move.GetDirection(selection)
    options = MoveOptions()
    result = Move.Translate(selection, direction, MM(-100), options) # change as needed
    # EndBlock

    # Slice Bodies by Plane
    selection = BodySelection.Create(GetRootPart().Bodies[ii-1])
    datum = Selection.Create(GetRootPart().DatumPlanes[0])
    result = SplitBody.ByCutter(selection, datum)
    # EndBlock
