To delete duplicate beam elements automatically

Duplicate beam elements can cause analysis problems and convergence errors in Cool analyses. Duplicate beams can be present in cooling channels, runners or connector elements.

  1. Click Mesh Statistics (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 Auto Repair (Mesh tab > Mesh Edit panel > Auto Repair) to repair the mesh automatically.
  3. Click Mesh Statistics (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.
