Assembly
Summary of available functionality for defining the properties and behavior of parts in the model.
- Materials
- Rigid Parts
  A rigid part can displace under the loading, but only as a rigid body, i.e. without deformation or strain.
- Spots
  A Spots is a feature that enable applying loads, constraints, or other boundary conditions (BC) to local regions on the surface, instead of applying BC to the whole faces of the model
- Create Coordinate System
  Define a local coordinate system to which boundary conditions may be later applied.
- Import Coordinate System
  Import coordinate system from an external comma separated values (CSV) file. Multiple coordinates can be imported at once.
- Create Line on Part
  Create a line that can later be used to generate seam welds.
- Create Sheets
  Create a sheet from an imported surface by applying thickness.
- Create Laminates
  Create laminate from an imported skin
- Set Part Type as Bolt
  Define parts as bolts.
- Set Orthotropic Material Geometry
  Define the material orientation of the part.
- Import Datum Points from CSV
  Import datum point sets from an external comma separated values (CSV) file.
- Create Liquid Body
  Create a liquid body between selected faces.
- Create Gas Body
  Create gas body between selected faces.
- Assembly Review
  You can clean up the geometry in your model by removing undesired parts.
  - Assembly Info
    This dialog provides summary information for all parts in a given Project Tree branch.
  - Review Parts
    Rank/find parts, including seam welds, based on volume or relative volume, and suppress or delete parts.
  - Review Similar Parts
    Find groups of similar parts that have the same geometry in different positions.
  - Show Parts by ID or Name
    Locate parts in the assembly by their ID or name.
  - Check Geometry Defects
    Check the quality of part facets.
  - Check Part Overlaps
    Identify overlapping parts in the model.
  - Find Part Self Intersections
    Identify parts that contain overlapping edges.
  - Compare Assemblies
    Show geometry differences between two design studies on a part-by-part basis.
  - Create Local Studies
    Create local design studies linked to global studies.
Connections
Connections are used to define the association of different regions of interest between parts in an assembly.
Create Analysis
Create an analysis for your project.
Boundary Conditions
Boundary Conditions available for SimSolid.
Post Processing
Run analyses and view a variety of results in SimSolid.
Design Study
Design studies allow you to quickly evaluate and compare the structural performance from different design scenarios.
Verification Problems
Solved verification models.

Check Geometry Defects

Check the quality of part facets.

On the Project Tree, click on the Assembly workbench.
On the Assembly workbench toolbar, click (Check geometry defects).
Click the Geometry defects tab.
The dialog will list any boundary segments, non-manifold segments, or orientation segments found.
Click Close.
