Imported meshes often contain intersecting mesh elements. These intersecting mesh
elements need to be either repaired or removed to obtain accurate results.
Intersecting mesh elements can overlap (entirely or partially) or intersect other
mesh elements, while not electrically connected at the point of intersection.
Select the model or geometry part either in the model tree
or 3D view.
On the Mesh tab, in the
Find group, click the Intersecting Triangles icon.
Figure 1. The Find Intersecting Mesh Elements
dialog.
Specify the parts to be searched for intersecting mesh elements.
To search the full model, under Search, click
Entire model.
To search only the selected part of the model, under
Search, click
Selection.
Click OK to search for intersecting mesh elements and to
close the dialog.
The result of the search is displayed in the Model Status and on the Message Details dialog. Any
parts containing intersecting mesh elements are selected in the model tree and in the 3D view. A hyperlink to the
part containing the intersecting mesh elements is also given in the Model Status and on the Message Details
dialog.
