Topology Diagnostics control allows you to diagnose the model and detect any topology issues. You should use Topology Diagnostics control before generating a surface mesh to identify the thin stripes, small edges, overlapping faces and intersecting faces in the model.
Topology Diagnostics Details view has the following options:
General
Control Type: Displays the selected control type.
Scope
Define by: Allows you to define the input to the selected control. The available options are Value and Outcome.
Value: Allows you to set manually the value of the Scoping Method and Scoping Pattern.
Outcome: Allows you to select the existing scoped outcomes from the previous steps as input.
Scoping Method: Allows you to scope Part, Label or Zone as input for the Topology Diagnostics control.
Scoping Pattern: Allows you to specify the name pattern to get the selected Scoping Method. Scoping Pattern supports Regular Expression. You can click
on the right corner of the option and the
following options are available:Publish: Publishes Scoping Pattern to the Property Worksheet.

Definition
Define by: Allows you to define the input to the selected control. The available options are:
Value: Allows you to set manually the value of the Scoping Method and Scoping Pattern.
Outcome: Allows you to select the existing scoped outcomes from the previous steps as input.
Thin Stripes Width: Allows you to specify the width of the thin faces to be considered for diagnosis. The default value is 5 mm. You can click
on the right corner of the option and click
Publish to publish Thin Stripes
Width to the Property Worksheet. You can
parameterize Thin Stripes Width.Small Edges Length: Allows you to specify the length of the smallest edge length to be considered for diagnosis. The default value is 0.01 mm. You can click
on the right corner of the option and click
Publish to publish Small Edges
Length to the Property Worksheet. You can
parameterize Small Edges Length. Overlapping Face Tolerance: Allows you to specify the tolerance within which overlapping of faces can occur. The default value is 0.001m. You can click
on the right corner of the option and click
Publish to publish Overlapping Face
Tolerance to the Property Worksheet. You can
parameterize Overlapping Face Tolerance. Intersecting Face Tolerance: Allows you to specify the tolerance within which intersecting of faces can occur. The default value is 25 degrees. You can click
on the right corner of the option and click
Publish to publish Intersecting Face
Tolerance to the Property Worksheet. You can
parameterize Intersecting Face Tolerance.
