Degenerate_Surface_Segment_Corner

This check verifies whether the angles between the boundaries of surface segments (patches) are in the specified range. If not, the elements are considered as incorrect.

Note: This check also applies to pseudo-corners. If the length of a boundary patch is smaller than the specified tolerance, the angle of the corner is computed between the boundaries of the degenerate boundary patch.

Context

If the angle between the boundaries of two adjacent surface segments is too small or too large, undefined normals can appear in the corners. This can generate waviness on the surface and potential issues with the creation of offsets.
