I am trying to clip the soils layer by sections. I've tried creating a model but i am not getting the results i am looking for.

The soils is the layer i need to clip by the sections layer but i need the soils to be clipped by each sections in it's owner feature class. When clipping i would like to retain the section name for each clip if possible,  any one have an example of a model, python script or any ideas? See attached the first pic(SectionsSoil) has the soils layer with the sections layer overlaid on top I need to be able to clip each section of soils into it's own section, pic 2 (SectionSoil). Also attached is the pic of the model i tried.

Thanks.

It is the section grid you want to iterate over not the soils layer. On each iteration of your sections grid you want it to feed out a polygon (a square) and that is used to clip the soils layer. Then the output name using the inline substitution would make more sense.

I have set the section grid as the iterate but it appears i am getting an error. 

I recreated the model and got to work, i guess the first model got corrupted or something.
