Error: 2197 When Subtracting Solid Objects

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

The operation for subtracting objects sometimes results in an empty object.

I get the same result regardless of whether I use Comsol with Matlab or Comsol.

Here is the code for Comsol with Matlab:

L =1.484657283537885e+002;
b1 = block3(L,L,L,'base','corner','pos',[-L/2 -L/2 -L/2]);
b2 = block3(2*L,2*L,2*L,'base','corner','pos',[-L -L -L]);
b3 = b2-b1;
s1 = sphere3(R, 'pos', [74.749418189234774 55.704195981109351 44.950288914795586]);
s2 = s1 - b3;

b4 = b1 - s2; % this is an empty object

geomplot(b1 - s1) % this is what b4 should look like
