Hello Sayyan79
I would use a subordinate coordiate's system which has a center located along the axis on which you want to split the cylinder and after this I would rotate the solid around the plane that you just translated; for example if you want to locate the cylinders along the y-axis move the xz plane along the y axis creating a coordinates' subsystem named x'y'z' and then rotate the cylinder around z' axis of 180°;repeat the procedure how many time you need.
Hi, I hope I had been clear
