Repair Solids

Use the Solid tool to find, review, and fix any geometric errors in the model's solids.

1. From the Geometry ribbon, Repair tools, click the Solid tool.

   
   
   Figure 1.

   A legend displays detailing the types of checks performed and the error count for each.
2. Optional: Hover over a check and toggle the On/Off button to enable or disable it.
   Checks that are turned off will not be updated.

   Note: When validating the model, any checks that are turned off will be turned back on. All checks must be cleared before meshing and computing a solution.
3. If a check is producing an error, click that check in the legend.
   A guide bar used to review and fix the errors displays.

   Tip: Right-click on a check in the legend to show/hide/isolate the surfaces producing the errors.
4. On the guide bar, navigate through and review each error using the arrows.
5. Optional: Turn off the Auto refresh checks option.
   As errors are fixed, the legend is automatically updated to reflect the changes. However, for larger models it can be useful to avoid updating checks for each fix/modification. If this option is turned off, you have to click on the guide bar to manually refresh the legend.
6. Define any additional options then fix the errors in the following ways:
   • Click on highlighted errors in the modeling window to fix them one-by-one.
   • Click the button on the far right of the guide bar to fix all errors at once.
