Correcting errors in the imported geometry

The great diversity of versions, formats, and programs frequently results in differences between the original and the imported geometry. With GiD these differences might give rise to imperfect meshes or prevent meshing altogether. In this section we will see how to detect errors in the imported geometry and how to correct them.

Importing the same file with different versions of GiD might produce slight variations in the results. For this reason from now we will use a project that contains the original IGES file translated into GiD format by an old GiD version (in fact importing it with current versions will automatically fix some of the problems)

• Select Files->Open...
• If a dialog window appear asking to save changes to the project, click No.
• Select the project "imported48.gid".
