Deleting duplicate beam elements automatically

Duplicate beam elements can cause analysis problems and convergence errors in Cool analyses (for example, "** WARNING ** Solution iteration limit reached before convergence"). Duplicate beams can be present in cooling channels, runners or connector elements.

1. Click (Mesh tab > Mesh Diagnostics panel > Mesh Statistics) to check if the mesh contains duplicate beams. The Intersection Details section of the Mesh Statistics dialog reports the number of duplicate beams.
2. If the number of duplicate beams is greater than 0, click (Mesh tab > Mesh Repair panel > Auto Repair) to repair the mesh automatically.
3. Click (Mesh tab > Mesh Diagnostics panel > Mesh Statistics) again to check if the mesh contains duplicate beams. If duplicate beams are still present in the mesh, you need to correct the problem manually.
