In CFD modeling, input parts can have topology issues, like free surfaces and self-intersections, and part assembly
issues, such as parts with very close proximity and intersecting parts. Manually connecting these parts can be time
consuming and require expertise in certain tools. The Wrap tool can generate a watertight manifold model from dirty input with considerably less manual work.

Use the Wrap: CAD Wrap tool to create wrap from selected
parts. CAD wrapping keeps the original geometry shape as it is and just fixes areas of
issue.
The
Wrap tools work for tessellated geometry. If the input
is b-spline geometry, first convert to discrete geometry using the Convert tool.
If local and proximity controls are defined, they will override the default settings
defined in this tool.
From the Discrete ribbon, click the Wrap > CAD Wrap tool.
Select parts to wrap.
In the dialog, choose whether to wrap the exterior of your selection or the
cavity.
Define any other relevant options.
Pre cleanup
Split large elements, perform free edge stitching, and trim overlap
connections given a threshold.
Maximum allowable gap
Leaks are detected if a gap exceeds the size defined here.
Baffle removal
Choose which side(s) of the wrap from which you would like to remove
baffles.
Quality cleanup
Smooth filled gap patches and cleanup non-manifold edges, free
edges, intersections, high aspect ratio elements, and proximity
distance after wrapping.
You can adjust the number of iterations the tool uses to fix errors
in the mesh. You should change it between 2-6 based on the
complexity of the model.
