If the spline fits one of these surface types within tolerance, the spline surface is replaced by the analytic representation. SolidWorks 2000's import diagnostics. It checks the part for edge gaps and face abnormalities and graphically displays the results. You can remove or fix the faces. Surface simplification benefits feature recognition add-on packages that process and convert surface geometry to recognizable features within the receiving system.
Analytic shapes are more easily recognizable and converted to features such as holes and fillets.
The healing techniques discussed here are by no means the only tools available to users, depending on the CAD system they use. You can add surface geometry as required to form a solid or work with the imported geometry as is from part and assembly design through to layout and detailing. In the lead Solid modeling systems and the models they create have come a long way since the early 1990s when models were nonparametric static shapes and native healing was only a dream born of data transfer nightmares. Automated and interactive native healing tools help designers leverage imported geometry. Glossary Geometry Shape, size, and location of geometric elements such as points, lines, and planes.
