Geometry Cleanup and Defeaturing

Frequently, models imported from various CAD platforms either provide too much detail for mesh generation and analysis, or the geometric representation is deficient. These deficiencies can often be overcome with small changes to the model.  Several tools are provided in CUBIT for this purpose.

The following describes the features available in CUBIT for clean up and defeaturing

• Healing
• Tweaking Geometry
• Removing Geometric Features
• Automatic Geometry Clean-up
• Regularizing Geometry
• Finding Surface Overlap
• Validating Geometry
• Debugging Geometry
• Geometry Accuracy
• Trimming and Extending Curves
• Stitching Sheet Bodies
• Defeaturing Tool
