Error rebuilding from a WWTP

I imported a WWTP from a supplier.

In the tree I find myself with an erroneous surface.

After launching the error diagnosis and trying to fix it: I still have the error.

 

As a matter of principle, I don't like to insert parts with construction errors into my assemblies.

 

It seems to me that there is an option in SW (I'm in SW2013 SP5.0) that allows you to "hide" the error?

Does that sound familiar?

If the surface is visually good, start by re-saving your file in STEP or parasolid.

 

A new ride sometimes solves mistakes. Proven method...

I was able to understand that to avoid certain problems

It was better to import parasolid

Hello

 

There are two possibilities:

 

- Remove the surface! If it's small and it doesn't pose a problem visually, it's acceptable.

 

- Otherwise, try to sew the surfaces:

Hello

Indeed, this happens frequently, especially on complex files.

It is often necessary to carry out detailed repairs:

  • Perform unit surface repairs
  • Perform unit discontinuity repairs

 

Which takes quite a bit of time.

 

Then often the errors come from small complex surfaces that we often don't need to insert into an assembly or make representation.

So I select unnecessary surfaces or bodies and delete them in order to simplify the room. Because even when the part is "healthy", errors reappear.

It's worth taking time if you have to reuse the component in the long term.

 

Good luck...
