METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRIMMING INTERSECTING BODIES IN A COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN ENVIRONMENT

A method and system for trimming intersecting bodies of a geometric model in a computer-aided design environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a plurality of bodies of the geometric model intersecting with each other. The method includes computing volume of one or more intersecting bodies in the geometric model to be trimmed from the geometric model. Also, the method includes determining a trim offset value for at least one intersecting body in the geometric model and recomputing the volume of the at least one intersecting body in the geometric model which is to be trimmed from the geometric model based on the trim offset value. Moreover, the method includes generating a modified geometric model by performing a trim operation on the volume of the one or more intersecting bodies of the geometric model.
