Open_or_Overlapping_Shell_and_Volume

This check verifies the presence of holes in a shell (ring of free edges), and whether the distance between the free edges is smaller than a given tolerance.

Context

To generate a surface, the topology has to be be calculated correctly. Open edges and multiple knots are rated as incorrect, since they can generate design issues.

Note: Closed edges are allowed.

Check Information

Check Details Description
Applicable to: PartFeature
Automatic Solution:
Check Parameters:
  • NarrowTolerance: Length type.

    Specifies the tolerance used to detect holes in the shell.

  • NbPointsPerSegment: Integer type.

    Specifies the size of the point sample used for each arc of the curve linked to a free edge.

  • Check_IfClosedBoundariesIsPartiallyNarrow: Boolean type.

    Checks the presence of partially-narrow rings of free edges on the maximum limits of the surface linked to the examined face.
