Use the Validate tool to validate your entire model,
review surface and solid checks, and fix any issues.
This task must be done before meshing or
completing the solver run.
Open the Validate tool in the following
ways:
From the Geometry ribbon, click the
Validate
tool.
While in the Geometry ribbon, right-click in the
modeling window and select Check
Displayed.
While in the Geometry ribbon, press
Ctrl + Shift + C
Your entire model displays in the modeling window. The Validate tool finds any surface or solid
defects, such as closed shells, free surfaces, slivers, and close proximity
solids.
Note: If any checks were turned off while using the Surface or Solid
repair tools, they will be turned back on when validating. All checks must
be passed in order to validate the model.
If any surface or solid checks are flagged, click the link below the
tool.
You are directed back to the Surface and Solid repair tools where you can
review and fix any issues.
Once all of the issues are fixed and the checks have been passed, the
Validate tool changes to indicate a valid
model.
After you have validated the model,
you can move on to other ribbons and continue setting up your simulation.
Change the Sliver Surface Threshold
Change the threshold for finding and fixing sliver surfaces.
From the Geometry ribbon, click the Validate
Settings tool.
Enter a value for the sliver surface threshold in the microdialog
