- Visualization of higher entities of edges shows that in the interior of the piece some surfaces are isolated.
- Press ESC to finish higher entities visualization.
- To generate a conformal mesh, first execute a global collapse of the model.
- The GiD collapse depends upon the Import tolerance. Two entities are collapsed (converted into one) when they are separated by a distance less than the Import tolerance parameter. To test this, enter a new value for the Import tolerance parameter.
- Go to Utilities->Preferences, and select Import and Export branch. Set the Import tolerance to User define value and enter 0.15 for the Value of import tolerance. Click Apply.
- Select Geometry->Edit->Collapse->Model.
- A dialog window appears to confirm the selection. Click Ok.
- Select Mesh->Generate mesh. Erase the old mesh and use the default element size.
- Visualize the results with View->Higher entities->Edges.
