Showing Missing Tessellations

Geometry with missing facets can lead to incorrect geometry representation by the mesher. Using the Show Missing Tessellations feature, you can highlight geometry with missing facets, which will allow you to detect and resolve problems prior to mesh generation.

Note:  This feature is available only for the Patch Independent Tetra mesh method.

To highlight missing tessellations:

  1. Select the Geometry object in the Tree Outline.

  2. Right-click the Geometry object or in the Geometry window to display the context menu.

  3. Select Show Missing Tessellations in the context menu.

If a face without tessellations is found:

  • The boundary of the face will be highlighted in the Geometry window.

  • A warning message will be displayed in the Messages window advising you to use the Show Problematic Geometry context menu option to locate the problem areas.
