CAD contact tolerance

Choose a nonnegative distance in metres, or Automatic, for classifying nearby CAD bodies as contacts.

Location

Geometry workspace → Import → CAD contact tolerance

Initial value: Automatic.

Choose a nonnegative distance in metres, or Automatic, for classifying nearby CAD bodies as contacts. A detected geometric contact does not add a mechanical, thermal or electrical coupling.

Using the value

Edit the Import feature, choose Build All Geometry, then inspect the imported dimensions, domains and any repair diagnostics before meshing.

Troubleshooting

Check file availability, actual format and source scale first. Repair may change geometry; inspect small features and part boundaries rather than accepting a completed import alone.
