Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: Abaqus/CAE can now repair part geometry automatically when you import a part from a file created by another CAD application. This enhancement enables you to improve the validity of the imported part using several repair tools and validity checks.
Description: If invalid geometry is detected during the import of one or more parts, Abaqus/CAE now prompts you to perform an automated repair of the invalid geometry at the end of the import process. The automated repair consists of a series of geometry repair steps and validity checks that can improve the validity of the part. After the automated repair is complete, Abaqus/CAE creates an auto-repair feature for the part under the Features container in the Model Tree.
Abaqus/CAE performs automatic repair on the entire part, which can be time consuming for complex parts. In addition, automatic repair does not always reduce the number of invalid entities in a part, particularly for parts that already have very few invalid entities. If you are importing a part with few invalid entities, consider using the individual repair tools in the Geometry Edit toolset to perform local repairs after import.
