Warning G13816 and Error 16504 originating from Parasolid Error 16116

Hello,

I imported a model in parasolid format. After import, a part of model gives WARNING G13816 - face-face inconsistency.

When I tried to union these parts, I get another Error 16504:

Attached log file specifically mentions following:

How can this warning and error be avoided?
Additionally I want the union of these parts to be translated to origin and rotated 90 degree about x-axis. This operation seems to be extremely slow. Is there a faster method?

I have attached the model and log file both.

Thank you,

FieldForcer

Hello,

The warning indicates that there are issues with your CAD and I would recommend that you use the CAD healing tools on the transform tab to try to heal the CAD before trying operations on the CAD (such as union).

I can't look at the model, since it indicates that the two cfx files are corrupt. Try uploading again?

Hi JIF,

... use the CAD healing tools on the transform tab to try to heal the CAD before trying operations on the CAD (such as union).

I have tried healing tools, but Error 16116 remains.

I can't look at the model, since it indicates that the two cfx files are corrupt. Try uploading again?

I will re-upload cfx file.

If CAD healing does not help, sometimes I end up having to recreate one or more faces (I only do this for faces that I can easily re-create). But, until I see the model, I can't take a look.

Hi FieldForcer,

The file size of 650 MB indicates a very complex structure. I will have a look and see if I can recommend something. In general, for extremely complex structures an external mesher may be better than the internal FEKO mesher. External meshing tools like HyperMesh offer a lot of powerful tolls for simplifying/de-featuring geometry.

Hi FieldForcer,

There are only two faulty faces in your model. I copied them and deleted them from the original part. After unioning the faces and the origibnal part again the part is fault-free.

The model can be downloaded here: https://securefiletransfer.altair.de/link/ZHfgEDvz7uVl9n1IK83Fm8

PS: In the file you uploaded a 3.2 GByte (!) out file was included, which obviously does not belong to the model.

Hi Torben,

Thank you for your reply. I will import the model, and take a look into it. I couldn't reply earlier, because I didn't get notification of your reply on my email.
