I want to extract the outer surface of a sphere (solid body), that is a linked body (named : Solid Body "BALL").
To do that, I used the "Extract Geometry" function, as shown on the picture below.
A "sheet body" is created I added it to the reference set to see it clearly (named : Sheet Body "BALL" in the reference set). The violet surface in the picture.
So far, so good ...
But the problem is appearing, when I close NX. Once I reopen the part, the previous sheet body is converted into a solid body !!
It looks like it was converted as a solid, but only when NX has been closed.
Now, there are two solid bodies and no more sheet body in the reference set.
It's very odd, because it's a simple function...
I absolutely don't understand why a sheet body is converted automatically into a solid body !
Please let me know, if you have already this problem
Cheers
