Information about 3D-Errors

 

Main_Views_3D_tree_error

If any errors occur while generating geometrical elements then the corresponding part in the model tree is marked by red color.

 

Furthermore, a corresponding message is displayed in the Warnings panel.

 

 

Possible warnings

 

Problem

Possible solutions

3D-Error: Could not create solid ...

Distance tolerance is too low or too high

Change the distance tolerance

(see Model settings)

Number of data points is disadvantageous (seldom)

Change the number of data points for the 3D model (see Model settings)

 

 

Eliminating errors during surface generation

 

For eliminating errors during surface generation there exists the following possibility:

try a different number of data points for the 3D model (see Impeller- or Volute-Settings)
try a different display resolution (see Model display (top))

The pictures illustrate the possible influence of point density on the surface generation of the blade.

 

 

Surface display errors

 

It may occur that a surface is not displayed although it exists.

You can recognize such cases, by selecting the surface in the model tree and choosing a high number of isocurves (see Model display (top)).

Normally, choosing another resolution (see Model display (top)) solves this problem.

 

Main_Views_3D_display_error

The orange iso-curves show how the surface looks like.

 

 

Slow 3D model

 

If the handling of the 3D model is very slow, normally an update of the graphic card driver is helpful.

 

3D_graphic_error

If problems occur in connection with the graphic card, sometimes an unsteady mesh is displayed on the faces of the solids.
