Analyze Complex Sew Surface for Open Edges/Holes
Analyze Complex Sew Surface for Open Edges/Holes
(OP)
NX7.5
Is there some sort of analysis that I can do to a body to find out what edges are causing my sew to not create a solid body? I have looked the model over several times, and have found two openings, but it still isn't creating a solid body, so I believe there are more, just maybe too small for me to see.
Thanks,
Chase

Analysis -> Examine Geometry...
...and set at least the 'Sheet Boundaries' check, select all the bodies and push the 'Examine Geometry' button at the bottom of the dialog. You will see the open edges highlighted after you toggle ON the 'Highlight Results' item.

Anybody know why when I scale down some solids, surfaces go missing? This is the cause of the problem I am having.

I have never gotten any missing surfaces, like you have, so I am not sure why that happens.
I guess it would be nice to get some sort of warning when a zero (or less) radius surface falls off.

...utility which will remove small faces, clean-up segmented edges, etc.
