create line as intersection of curved faces

Is it possible to create a line (effectively a 3D spline) that is the intersection of two previously created curved faces?

    There's not a great way. If the faces are part of solid bodies, you could:
    1. Make copies of the bodies
    2. Boolean union them together
    3. Use the edge created (as a curve for a sweep or whatever)
    4. Delete the new body.
    If you need to create that edge as an independent wire body, I don't know of any way. You could approximate it by creating a 3d spline with several sample points (via evEdgeTangetLine) in step 3 above.

    Split feature can also be used to produce an edge in intersection
