3.2.4 Repair Model

Repair Model

RWIND Simulation is able to correct small discrepancies within the model, such as nodes located very close to other ones. To apply this function, select Repair Model on the Edit menu. Those corrections may only be required when using non-simplified models. Simplified models do not need to be repaired this way.

Model Information

In this dialog box section, you can review the number of points, cells, open edges and non-manifold edges. When you click the [Repair model] button, those numbers will change, depending on the geometry of the imported model: the improved model will have less points and open edges.

Parameters

The Tolerance for merging points controls the limit spacing for close points. If the tolerance is below this value, the points will be merged into a single one.

List of Corrections

There are three options in this dialog box section to control which items are to be improved: points and/or mesh. It is recommended to select every one of them.

As mentioned above, the [Repair Model] function tries to improve the model layout. The modifications will not yet be applied to the model, however. You can try different limits and review the results shown in the Model Information section. When you are certain that you want to adopt the changes, click [OK] or [Apply].
