Repairing Holes in the Geometry

During the process of finding the bounding surfaces to close the volume mesh, the mesher will determine if there are holes in the model. If holes are found, the Message window will display a message like "Material point ORFN can reach material point LIVE." You will be prompted with a dialog box saying, "Your geometry has a hole, do you want to repair it?" A jagged line will display the leakage path from the ORFN part to the LIVE part. The elements surrounding the hole will also be displayed. To repair the hole, select the single edges bounding it and the mesher will loft a surface mesh to close the hole. Further holes would be flagged and repaired in the same manner. If there are many problem areas, it may be better to repair the geometry or adjust the meshing parameters.
