Automatically healing geometry

Use the Auto Heal Geometry command to abstract certain types of features from your model that may be problematic for meshing.

When you create a 2D or 3D mesh on your model, the software automatically abstracts the polygon geometry to repair problematic topology, such as small features, that can degrade the quality of your mesh. With both 2D and 3D meshing, you use the options on the Mesh Options dialog to control the abstraction.

The Auto Heal Geometry command gives you an alternative way of performing the same abstraction operations that are embedded within the 2D and 3D meshing commands. The Auto Heal Geometry command lets you abstract the geometry without generating a mesh on it. This can be advantageous if you intend to perform more manual abstraction operations on your model prior to meshing.

Note:

If you use Auto Heal Geometry to abstract your model, the software won't abstract the part again during meshing.

Limitations

Auto Heal Geometry does not:

• Suppress holes or features.

• Turn sheet bodies into solid bodies.

• Transform manifold bodies into non-manifold bodies.
