I keep getting this message over and over again, and the error is not explained further. I am trying to CFD an FSAE car. Any suggestions would help. Cheers! [Screenshot%20(8)]

Hi @Deepank ! I checked your geometry and it is not watertight with some open edges as shown below colored in pink. Please make your geometry watertight. [24] Best, Yosuke

Hi @Deepank ! Please add your project link in your description, once that is done either the Power users or me will jump in to help! Thanks, Jousef

Hey Tolga! As far as I know this is Rhino and you can use the Edge Analysis tool there to find the naked edges as depicted by Yosuke. Cheers, Jousef

Hi everybody, It’s Rhinoceros as @jousefm mentioned. @Deepank To make your geometry watertight, you just fix surfaces and edges on your CAD or export it as mesh like STL and fill the hole with meshes on a mesher like MeshLab. Regards, Yosuke

Hi @Deepank , One way to create a watertight geometry is to connect all surfaces and close them into solid (=closed surfaces) data on a CAD. I found a YouTube movie that shows how to “Heal Edges” with solidworks as you use. I would be glad if it became a hint. Regards, Yosuke

Hi yosuke, Thanks for your reply. I’m trying to fix the geometry as you suggested. I hope it works. Thanks!

That is a great solution Yosuke. Would you mind sharing on how you were able to find open edges? Is this some option in cad software?
