Geometry Cleanup/Repair: Introduction
Why the need for Repair? How to Fix?
• Several translation methods available to • Geometry Cleanup
enable data exchange with CAD/CAE – Processes required to prepare geometry
systems for meshing
– Direct Integration/CAD Readers • Fix incomplete or corrupt geometry
– Import of generic CAD formats (IGES, and connect disconnected geometry
ACIS etc) • Remove unnecessary details
• Translation can: (Defeaturing)
– Return incomplete, corrupt, or • Decompose geometry into meshable
disconnected geometry sections for hex/hybrid meshing
• Requires repair
– Return geometry details unnecessary
for CAE analysis
• Requires defeaturing

Merge
• Merges a set of edges or faces
• Useful to reduce model complexity
• Type
– Edge merging
– Face merging
• Method
– Manual: user selects the entities to merge
– Automatic: clusters of entities to merge are automatically
selected and highlighted
Edge Merging
