Hello SOLIDWORKS Power Users and welcome to the 22nd SWPUC!
We should be thankful to for submitting this challenge
Allow me to simplify the problem for the purpose of the challenge, as shown in this video (also attached):
Input:
1. Download the attached part (SW 2016 or newer)
2. Use the circle from Sketch 2 to trim the geometry outside the circle
3. Find a solution that would enable consistent rebuilding if the circle diameter is varied
4. The end result should remain a number of unknitted surface bodies, based on the original geometry
5. Upload your SOLIDWORKS models. Comments are welcome
6. If you wrote a macro or an application, please upload it and explain how should be used. The application or macro will become public and be freely shared by the SOLIDWORKS Community.

Prizes:
