Hello, 

While defeaturing , the pin holes are not getting covered, so I just wanted to create a surface to cover the pinholes, and then mesh the whole surface together. Can i do this? Do i have to merge the surfaces together and then mesh it as a whole, or can i select the individual surfaces and mesh? Please help guys.

    Hello , 

     

    I have attached the images. The green edges are where i have used filler to close the gaps. As far as i have understood , the surfaces are equivalenced. While meshing , should i select all surfaces and mesh together?

    Hi vishruthdilip

     

    You can check the diameter of the pin holes in your model and give a slightly greater diameter to identify your pinholes.
