I need a clean geometry in order to mesh it properly with using watertight geometry workflow. First, I cleaned all small surfaces and gaps in CATIA. Then, I exported the geometry in stp format. When I opened this exported geometry in SpaceClaim, the quality of the surfaces are not good enough. Some of the surfaces have some self-intersections and others have some gaps. These gaps aren&#8217;t recognized when I use the &#8220;Open-face&#8221; feature. To fix it, I need to seperate the problematic surface first then I need to sew it again with using &#8220;Sew&#8221; feature. Also, I need to divide the self-intersected surfaces into many small surfaces. I want to prevent this problems. How can I import or export the geometry with high quality surfaces without applying these steps.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-397749","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-geometry-clean-up","topic-tag-geometry-import","topic-tag-import-geometry","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_topic_id":["397749"],"_bbp_subscription":["458081","62"],"_bbp_author_ip":["88.255.59.2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["397826"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["397826"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-12-18 07:32:12"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["458081","62"],"_btv_view_count":["295"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"fatmaburcu-soylutai-com-tr"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/397749","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\/397749\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
