Finding surface boundary defects

  1. Click Surface Boundaries Diagnostic (Geometry tab > Modify panel > Surface > Surface Boundaries Diagnostic). The Surface Boundaries Diagnostic dialog appears.
  2. Click Show to run the diagnostic check. If any defective surface boundaries are identified, they will be highlighted in red on the model. By zooming in on a problematic surface and examining its boundary, you should see that the surface boundary has a beginning and end rather than being a closed loop.
Note: Surface boundary errors cannot currently be corrected within Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight. You need to investigate and correct these defects in the original CAD system, and then re-import the revised model in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight.
