Are there ways to subdivide polygons into polygons with different areas?

Question

Hi,

I want to divide polygons into polygons with different areas. For this I have used the subdivide polygons tool. However, this has only worked sometimes and periodically gives error messages that I can't get fixed. Are there any other ways to divide polygons into different sized polygons besides this tool. Or are there any solutions for that in Python?

I'm not sure if there is an off-the-shelf analytic solution to this problem, you might have to turn to an iterative approach where you determine the required area size, then within a loop you split the original polygon, compare the new area to the required area, and repeat until it is within a given tolerance.

I have a feature class with several polygons. For my project, I now need a part of a polygon that has a certain area size that I have defined beforehand. For example, I have a polygon with an area of 2000 m^2, but I only need a part of this polygon with an area of 1400 m^2 for my next step. In the end, I need to have a polygon with an area of the required 1400 m^2 and a polygon which has the remaining area.
