You are clipping the the model view. The model view contains the geometries used in the model as they have been imported or created as Basic Shapes, including the positioning applied later. Even if an initial mesh has been created for the workpiece, the model view will still contains only the geometry, not the mesh. Thus your picture does not show the mesh, but only the surface of the geometry. And the surface is closed "some how" for the clipping.
To see the mesh, you need to clip in the initial mesh dialogue or in the results. Ensure to view the remaining part as Elements, not as Half Model or Cut Plane. For Half Model and Cut Plane we again close the clipping surface "some how" to get a plane surface. Only Elements shows the correct elements.
When clipping results, take care to use a result that is not a surface only result. Surface only results like contact status, deformed geometry, contact pressure, do not contain elements, thus can not show the correct elements when clipped. Use some stresses or strains or the temperature to see elements correctly when clipped.
