This tool provides tools for manually repairing surface defects identified using the surface diagnostic displays in the Modeling menu. To access this tool, click 
().
Use the Locate Surface Ties command to automatically identify minor mismatches between surface boundaries and defined surface ties.
A surface tie defines an association between a curve on the boundary of one surface, and a curve on the boundary of another surface. Surfaces ties are used to identify minor mismatches between surface boundaries. When the part is later meshed, the mesher will use the surface tie definitions to correct for the boundary mismatches and ensure that no free edges are created in these areas.
Dialog elements
- Located surface ties list
- After clicking Apply, this window lists any surface ties that were defined automatically.
The syntax for each surface tie is as follows:
<Surface1> : <Loop Number>:<Curve Number> <Surface2> : <Loop Number>:<Curve Number>
