How to seal holes in a shell

Question

I'm trying to fill a hole in a shell model in SimLab.

Let me explain in detail.

I used BreakFace to cut a shell without free edges into two halves.

The cut ends of the shell have holes where the free edges used to cut them were.

I want to fill these holes in the shell with the surface I used for BreakFace. Is there a good way to do this?

Importantly, this shell has a material applied to it, and I want to retain that material.

If you know of a good method, please let me know.

Hello, thank you for the question. The tool "Fill Holes" located in the Geometry ribbon in the face section might be the method to use. For more information about this tool, please refer to this tutorial:
