Large_Face_Gaps

This check verifies whether a topology contains gaps larger than the specified value. If so, the elements are considered as incorrect.

Context

Topologies describe the surface of a model. A point continuity is a transition between face edges without gaps or overlays.

Note: Discontinuities between faces of a topology are allowed within a specified tolerance.

Discontinuity issues can occur when you change the tolerance range. In this case, topologies can be lost.

When transferring the model to another system, automatically applied healing functions may result in unwanted changes to the topology, such as the creation of new elements and tiny elements.
