The resulting shape will consist of two connected solids that share a face at their frontier. It means that this face is present only one time in the resulting shape and is a sub-shape of both the box and the cylinder. \n This operation allows you to identify different areas in a shape (e.g. different materials) and to ensure a conformal mesh when meshing it later.
