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!
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,

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.
Best,
Yosuke
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?
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.

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.

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.

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