Body Integrity Analysis 
Access: Open this function from the following location:
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Select Parting Analysis Tools > Body Integrity Analysis from the Mold Design Guide Toolbar.
-
Select Analysis > Geometry Inspection > Body Integrity Analysis from the menu bar.
Analyze various geometry quality issues of a selected B-rep object.
The Body Integrity function scans the part and highlights potential problem areas. Numerous integrity checks run simultaneously, and a concise chart presents the results. Different colors are used to highlight open, tolerant, and non-manifold edges on the part. Areas of self-intersecting solid or narrow knife regions are also indicated.
The Body Integrity dialog is displayed with predefined checks available for analysis.

|
The Start Analysis button 
is not available until at least one B-rep object is selected. Pick one or more B-rep objects (also By Box). The selection can be from different parts in an assembly.
Select the types of analysis checks that you wish to perform. By default, all the checks are ON. If no object is selected, or if all the checks are OFF, the Start Analysis button is grayed out and not available. For a description of each check type, see Analysis Options below.
Select the colors to be associated with each check.

Click the Start Analysis button to start the analysis and to display the results. Any analysis issues are indicated on the dialog by a red X and the relevant area(s) on the object(s) are marked (highlighted) in the defined color, as shown below.
|
|
|
The following buttons/options are displayed in the dialog:
|
|
Start Analysis: Start the analysis. |
|
Keep Marking on Exit |
When this checkbox is marked These areas can then be fixed. Once the analysis is completed, the operation to be performed to fix any problematic areas depends on the results of the analysis. You can remove these marks using the following functions: Hide/Show Analysis Marks or Delete Analysis Marks. See Marking Analysis Tools for additional information. The image below shows an example of analysis result marking on an analyzed object.
See the example operation. |

|
Exit: Exit the operation and close the dialog/task. |
Analysis Options
The following analysis check types are available:
|
Open Edges |
Display all open edges in the selected object.
|
||||||
|
Tolerant Geometry |
Display tolerant edges/vertices which are larger than the defined tolerance value (this information can also be displayed by the Entity Information function). The following parameter is displayed:
Note: If only the Tolerant Geometry option is selected, and if a tolerant geometry was found but it is smaller than the value in the dialog, a message is displayed showing the largest found tolerant value. |
||||||
|
Non-Manifold Geometry |
Display non-manifold (zero thickness or non-manufactured) edges/vertices.
Additional examples:
|
||||||
|
Self-Intersecting Body |
Display all intersections between faces in the selected object.
|
||||||
|
Knife Region |
Display all areas with very sharp edges (up to a defined angle) in the selected object. The following parameter is displayed:
|
Once the analysis is completed, the operation to be performed to fix any problematic areas, depends on results of the analysis. See the example operation.
Press OK 
or Apply 
in the Feature Guide to complete the function.
Fix the problematic areas (see the example operation) and re-invokere-invoke the Body Integrity Analysis function. If there are no problematic areas, all analysis checks are marked with a green check mark.
