Hello,

 

I'm sure this has been asked before, however, I have not been able to find a suitable answer. While importing a STP file into the Design Modeler, I was given the warning "Self Intersecting Geometry" I have imported this same file a few times, sometimes without issue. As I proceed into the Mesh window, this seems to present problems.  Any idea how to fix this?

 

I have included the Design Modeler file. Thanks!

I'm wondering if you have mismanaged the units while converting this data from an STL file into Geometry.

Is this object nearly 1000 mm in diameter?

Well, that's interesting, This model shouldn't be that large. We've had this problem before where the file seems to be the correct size in one software used to create the step file, then we import to the design modeler and bang, it's 1.0 meters in diameter. The units should be in SI. This shouldn't be more than 40 mm in diameter.
