Maximum repair deviation

Set a nonnegative distance in metres limiting the allowed repair deviation, or Automatic.

Location

Geometry workspace → Import → Maximum repair deviation

Initial value: Automatic.

Set a nonnegative distance in metres limiting the allowed repair deviation, or Automatic. Compare the repaired geometry and its reported deviation with the dimensions important to your model.

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.
