Solid Sewing

Presentation

This function, also called healing, is an set of operations that ensure the good import of a solid geometry.

In GO2cam, a solid is correct when:

• 1 face = 1 surface,

• the frontier curve between 2 faces is 1 only edge (co-edge),

• a face has a direction.

It is greatly advised to use this function each time a solid is imported, no matter the format file and the original CAD software.

The solid reparation is made in three steps:

1. simplification of surfaces: GO2cam tries to convert vertex surfaces into analytic surfaces to make easier all the calculation,

2. re-construction of topology: recognition of the co-edges,

3. re-construction of the geometry: the solid is re-constructed.

It is possible to make manual settings but it is advised to choose automatic settings.
