Dual Domain and Midplane mesh repair

Topics in this section

• Mesh auto repair

  The Auto Repair command is used to launch an automatic search and repair of intersecting and overlapping mesh elements. It will also improve the aspect ratio of any bad elements present on the model.

• Mesh and remesh

  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.

• High aspect ratios

  The aspect ratio of an element is the relationship between the width and height of an element.

• Mesh orientation

  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.

• Edge repair

  If the aspect ratio of adjacent elements is such that the length of a given side is too long, and therefore impacts the mesh, you can swap edges.

• Filling holes in the mesh

  In order to analyze a model, the mesh must be complete. If there are any holes in the mesh, they must be filled.

• Remove slivers

  When importing a CAD model with Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Design Link, slivers can be introduced into the mesh.
