Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: You can now repair face normals for selected shell faces in a part, which enables you to make the shell normals consistent for parts with either manifold or non-manifold geometry.
Description: The Repair face normals tool in the Geometry Edit toolset now includes an additional step in which you can choose to repair face normals for the entire part or for selected faces in the part. You can select the faces whose normals you want to flip individually, by face angle, or by face curvature.
When you repair face normals by selecting faces individually, Abaqus/CAE flips the normals for the faces you select but does not attempt to align the normals of the selected faces.
