Healing Geometry

Select the surfaces to be healed.

The selected elements are added to the Elements To Heal list.

Note: Right-clicking an element in the list activates a context menu. The contextual commands are carried out for the right-clicked element and selected (highlighted) elements in the list.

In the Merging distance box, specify the maximum distance up to which gaps shall be repaired.

Optional: In the Distance objective box, specify the minimum distance from which gaps shall not be repaired.

In the Continuity list box, select Tangent.

Click the Freeze Plane elements and Freeze Canonic elements check boxes to exclude planar and canonic elements from the healing operation.

Click Preview to visualize the result and the maximum deviation between the input surfaces.

Important: The value is displayed only at the edge or the face concerned but not at the exact maximum deviation location.

Click the Freeze tab.

Select Freeze elements to exclude elements from the healing operation.
Select Unfreeze elements to include elements in the healing operation.

In the elements to freeze or unfreeze list, click "No selection" and then select the elements to be frozen or unfrozen.

Click the Sharpness tab.

Select one or more sharp edges to be retained.
In the Sharpness angle box, define the maximum value up to which an angle is considered as sharp.

Click the Visualization tab.

The Visualization tab enables you to better understand the discontinuities in the model and the results of the healing action.

You can select:

All: Displays corrected and not corrected discontinuity.
Not corrected: Displays only not corrected discontinuity.
None: Hides the callouts.
Display information interactively: Expands the callout when moving the pointer to it.
Display information sequentially: Displays only one callout. Use Previous and Next options to toggle the callouts.

Click OK.
