Auto-Fixing Errors

Auto-Fixing Errors

"Auto-fixing" is where PRIMER offers to correct errors it has detected for you. Generally PRIMER will only offer to make fixes where it can do no harm, so typical fixable errors would be:

• "Out of range" values, which would be reset to defaults.
• Duplicate entries in sets or time-history blocks, which would be eliminated.
• Reversing element topology to make area or volume +ve.
• Eliminating segments that don't lie on element faces.

. Auto-fixes can be applied:

• On an entity by entity basis via the DETAILS popup in the check summary panel;
• On a whole category basis via the AUTOFIX popup in the check summary panel;
• Using the autofix option when right-clicking in the error tree viewer.
• To the whole model via the AUTOFIX button at the top of the check summary panel.
