Hi Guys 

I have a wing section I want to clean up and cover the end section before I make it into a solid and run a topology optimization on it. I tried to toggle it and also tried to change the tolerance however it did not seal up. Does anyone know how to create a surface to cover it up so I can make it into a solid to run a topology on it?  

An image is a place below to illustrate the cavity. The red lines illustrate the open surface.

    you can create surface using ruled option with linelist & surface only setting.You can also try other geometry creation command.

    Hi

    I have a question with this regards whenever i try to toggle edges with little bit large tolerance value, the mesh generated is with respect to the original gap. I want to clarify whether toggle can be used with large clearance value or not?

    Thanks

    I prefer to use toggle with less tolerance(.001 to .9 mm).If gap is more than 1 mm use filler surface for enclosed loop.
