Divide solid using composed surface GEOM

1

Hello,
I would like to cut a solid using several surfaces combined, which ‘should’ generate a compound of solids.
nevertheless I can not achieve this using any of salome tools:
for example, I have an empty cube (with thickness), that I want to cut with the surfaces that goes from the internal vertexes and edges to the external ones: (in the left the empty cube (with thickness) and in the right the same cube overlapped with the surface that I want to cut it with to obtain 6 different solids.

is this even possible to do in salome?
the only way I see to do it right now is recontructing a solid from faces of the ‘empty cube’ and the cutting surfaces, but non with boolean op as they all fail.
any insights in the matter would be appreciated.

Did you try Partition?
Use the Box and thicken_body as objects and the faces as tools objects.
The explode the partition to solids (you will get one for the small cube) the create a compound with the 6 solids.

Lol, I haven’t notice this tool… I got around by identification of edges and reconstructions but this is at least cleaner not sure if faster. thanks a lot!
