The file came as an obj file with a lot of errors. I followed some of the advice provided on your forum which was very helpful, but I&#039;ve reached a point where I don&#039;t know how to go about fixing the issue.<\/p>\n<p>I will run by you my process and hopefully you can help. I began by having the complete model of a trachea obj file. As I didn&#039;t want all the geometry I moved the file into MeshLab and deleted the part that I didn&#039;t want, cutting the model and leaving a hole in the mesh. From here I saved as an stl file and moved the model into SpaceClaim. From here, I continued by sealing the hole that was left and having a fully defined model of a trachea. At this point I ran the Check Facets tab to see if there are any geometry problems and none were found. <\/p>\n<div data-embedjson=\"{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/918\/4GY1KR7E0QVM.png&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Capture.PNG&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image\/png&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:377752,&quot;width&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:null,&quot;embedType&quot;:&quot;file&quot;}\">\n<a href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/918\/4GY1KR7E0QVM.png\" download aria-label=\"Capture.PNG\"><br \/>\nCapture.PNG<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-167922","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim","topic-tag-convertgeometry-1","topic-tag-stl-to-ansys-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["576"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["252414"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["167922"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_engagement":["252414"],"_bbp_voice_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["210190"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["210190"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-03-30 14:23:07"]},"test":"19086000stu-mmu-ac-uk"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167922\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
