Remove PartBody from Body 1

[ThiagoRibeiro]

Hi,

I'm trying to carry out an CFD simulation of a part. To do so, I need to make a hole inside a box in the same shape of the part. I'm trying to use the Booleam Operation "Remove", however catia shows me the message "PartBody cannot be used to perform boolean operation. Please select another body". The problem is that PartBody is the one that I need to remove from the box( body). Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem ?

Insert a blank part body, right click, at the bottom you should see an option "change part body". This will make this new blank body the main part body for the catpart, then allow you to remove the body you need.

PartBody can not be negative is the reason for it. Notice your side menus when you have a blank PartBody. All active commands are positive features (pad, shaft, rib,....). Follow Jopal's post and all will be good.
