Mesh repair

    Table of contents
    1. 1. Topics in this section

    After you have evaluated the mesh using visual inspection, mesh statistics and mesh diagnostics, you need to fix the identified problems in order to have a clean model before you run an analysis.

    To fix mesh problems, you can use the Mesh Repair Wizard which runs a series of diagnostics on your model and, for each diagnostic, allows you to fix any problems detected.

    Alternatively, you can use the mesh repair tools to fix any problems you have identified from the mesh statistics report.

    Topics in this section

    • Mesh repair (Quick Reference)

      The Project Mesh command is used to project the chosen mesh back towards the surface of the parent surface. This command is useful when your mesh has become unexpectedly deformed and no longer follows the surface of your model.

    • Mesh Repair Wizard

      The Mesh Repair Wizard helps you to repair several types of mesh defect.

    • Nodes repair

      Many of the mesh tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.

    • Edges

      Many of the mesh tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.

    • Mesh regions

      Regions are areas or selections of connected entities that may include both planar and non-planar surfaces.

    • Delete entities

      Many mesh tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.

    • Dual Domain and Midplane mesh repair

      The following tools can be used to repair errors in Dual Domain or Midplane meshes.

    • 3D mesh problems

      The following are typical problems encountered with 3D mesh types.
