Close a free edge

Hello everybody. I trimmed a surface with another surface, which is a part of the bigger one. Now there is a free edge in the and I can't close it with the 'toggle' command. I attach a picture to better explain. Hope someone can help me. Thank you.

Try : Geom => edge edit => equivalent

I tried to do it, but there is still the free edge.

Hi FuSeredo,

Please increase the cleanup tolerance value and try toggling the free edge.

Still free edge

Hi FuSeredo,

Will be any graphical issues?.

I recommend you to continue with meshing and finally you can check for connectivity and can equivalence the nodes.

I meshed everything and then I did the equivalence but the edges are still open. I also checked the connectivity but it says that there are no connectivity problems.

Your mesh is NOT so good at all from point of view of numerical analysis.

You have to have some transitory zones from fine to coarse mesh.

Of course, but I CAN'T mesh in a better way because of the free edge. This is what I am trying to do. Hypermesh doesn't see the continuity of the surfaces.
