Simulation of repair

If you fix the errors commonly found in 3D files you will achieve more reliable translation between CAD systems. That is why TransMagic offers three levels of semi-automatic model Repair plus the ability to “check the model integrity” before translation.

Lite Repair

• Stitches together "loose" surfaces to create a solid model and re-orients surface normals to face outward.
• Special algorithms in TransMagic simplify the geometry where possible into their analytic forms. So a planar surface is represented by a plane rather than a NURBS surface. This increases efficiency in the downstream use of the model.
• Utilizes "tolerant edges" to repair minor gaps or inaccuracies or to accommodate edges that do not lie perfectly on a surface helping to create a "water-tight" solid model.

Full Repair

• Takes 3D repair a step further and re-intersects all model surfaces to produce precise intersections where possible and tolerant edges when necessary.
• Full repair also repairs geometric errors in the surfaces themselves resulting in a much "cleaner" model with higher precision.

MagicSURFACE

• MagicSURFACE is an advanced geometry repair toolkit essential to CAD users who need to create water-tight solid models from low quality CAD files, such as IGES or CATIA V4 files. MagicSURFACE can find and cover holes or missing surfaces in 3D models, and repair or replace poorly constructed surfaces. Also includes the non-uniform scaling feature. MagicSURFACE is included in ADVANTAGE & EXPERT

Check Model

• Used to validate the integrity of a model prior to translation to insure the best quality output.
• Check Model identifies errors and validates whether or not the model is a solid. In addition this function reports if any errors are found in the model and will validate if the model is a solid.


Note: The majority of CAD systems cannot accurately read a solid model file if it is not watertight, use TransMagic Repair to remedy issues reported by Check Model.
