8 ALTAIR Inspire Cast Tips: Meshing Issues (Part 3)

Welcome to part three of our tips and tricks blog series for getting started in Altair Inspire Cast. In parts one and two we addressed common meshing issues involving sleeves and vents. In this blog, we discuss issues that may lie internally. 

Tip #3: Common meshing issues – internal voids

Having issues getting a part to mesh in Altair Inspire Cast but don’t see any external geometry issues? The issue may be internal. Using a few simple tools in Inspire Cast, we can quickly check on this. 

While the part is selected, hold the “CTRL” key on your keyboard to turn the part translucent (this can also be accomplished using the part editor window).

Once we’ve located the problem it can be removed using the Push/Pull Command to cover the void.

Problem solved! This part is now able to mesh without any further issues.
