What is the quickest way to determine degenerate faces?

What is the quickest way to determine degenerate faces?

(OP)
hi,
most of the models I get from the customer are from other cad systems via step and parasolid.
I must rework them, nice to have ST. I some cases I for blending actions for example I have to look for degenerated faces- the blend will stop at-. Is there a check - examine geometrie won't help - to find degenerated faces?
thank you in advance

RE: What is the quickest way to determine degenerate faces?

This is more difficult than it might appear on the first attempt. The tests that Kapil proposes can highlight things like faces with an overload of patches and ripple, but it cannot highlight a concave face where the radius is too small for the blend to fit since there is nothing wrong with a small radius.

There might be a few tests under checkmate that can search for similar cases to the VDA test.

Regards, Tomas
