Step 5: Forming the Hole

Now the cylinder can be subtracted from the brick to form a hole in the latter. To do this, enter the following command:

FIDESYS> subtract 2 from 1

When the Boolean operation subtract is performed, both original volumes are deleted and replaced by a new volume (with an ID of 1), which is the result of this operation. It is shown in Fig. 1 as a brick with a through hole.

Now we have finished creating the geometric model and are ready to build a mesh on it.
