Cutting an assembly 1

[Pingen]

Hi,

I'm preparing a complex assembly for fea. I would like to cut the assembly along its symmetry planes. Can I do this directly in the assembly, or do I have to modify each affected part individually?

As Hora said, an assembly cut will do the job. My advice...would be to create new datum planes that the assembly cut can be referenced to and that should make the cut a standalone item (should prevent assembly failures when you delete it)
