In the Selection options section of the dialog, decide whether you want to use filtering. No other set-up parameters need to be set; simply click the Apply button to run the tool.
Note: Many of the mesh tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.
To achieve a higher success rate of repair after the first automatic search and repair has been complete, repeating the process a second time will further improve the mesh.
Caution: The Auto Repair command is primarily intended for use on Dual Domain meshes. For Midplane meshes, it may not always produce the desired results-if problems are encountered, you can use the Undo command to restore the original mesh. This command does not perform any checks on 3D (tetrahedral) meshes.
Dialog elements
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it.
For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
- Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
