Checking CAE model consistency
Use the CAE Model Consistency command to check all polygon bodies in your FEM file for issues. If the software identifies problems, it lists the affected polygon bodies by name. As a best practice, you should use the CAE Model Consistency option periodically as you build your finite element model.
Note:
You must have the CAD part that is associated with the current FEM file loaded before you use this command.
If the software identifies polygon bodies with consistency issues, you can use options in the Simulation Navigator to fix those bodies. For more information, see Tools for identifying and repairing polygon body problems.
