Please see attached screenshot. Version is 2024 R2. Only two forum topics seem to exist that mention this issue:

Issues importing 3D models (.obj files) into Maxwell -- my object is an .stl and the reimport suggestion doesn't change the outcome (failed validation).

Parasolid entity check failed for part -- OP supposedly resolved their issue but never shared details.

Relative lack of coverage indicates that this is either unique to my model and therefore potentially complicated or just uncommonly encountered due to how simple it is to avoid. Hoping someone can advise. Thanks

Hello, if you encounter a "Parasolid Entity check failed for part" error in Maxwell, you can follow these steps to detect and correct errors in your model:

1. Run an object analysis (Modeler > Model Analysis > Analyze Objects) on a subset of bodies in the model to return api_check_entity() errors and non-manifold edge/vertex errors.
2. Additionally, you can adjust the model validation settings to either Basic or Warning Only if you are unable to correct the errors under the Strict setting. This is done by selecting Maxwell > Design Settings and then choosing the desired level of Model validation from the Entity Check Level dropdown box.

By following these steps, you should be able to address the "Parasolid Entity check failed for part" error and proceed with your design analysis in Maxwell.
