Hi, I was wondering if there is an easy way for the system to
highlight where invalid geometry exists after performing Flow
Simulation - Tools - Check Geometry.
I have created an assembly file containing the assembly file of the aircraft along with a solid block enclosing the aircraft. I use the cavity feature to incrementally remove the solid components of the aircraft until the Boolean operation fails. Usually I can find coincident sharp edges or cylindrical faces just touching planar faces. Moving faces to overlap or create a slight gap normally resolves these issues. Is there a more efficient process to find invalid geometry?
Thanks,
Peter Ferreira

I'd like to know the answer to that question too. It would be a good feature to add to Flow Sim.
Anyone know if there is a tutorial or other doc discussing this topic? How about samples of problem geometries? Like Brian said, "coincident sharp edges or cylindrical faces just touching planar faces". Show us what 'not' to do.
