I have an assembly of parts built up to run a simulation. I perform a geometry check -> boolean error, check geometry
so, I create a part to encompass the entire computational domain
systematically create a cavity from each component
find several failures (i.e. tube tangent to a plate -> line contact, etc)
remove all failures - generate 1 solid part with 18 cavities to comprise all 188 parts - this is essentially how Flow generates the fluid volume from everyone I've talked to
Problem: I can generate the equivalent of the fluid volume, but geometry check says "Boolean operation failed. Check model geometry"
Any Suggestions?!?!?
