Closed Brep to closed mesh

Grasshopper Tekla

Hei,

In some sense i recognized that closed brep doesnt mesh closed mesh.
How to solve it in this example the issue. Results should be closed mesh so Tekla Structures/other programs can read the geometry.

Hi @MomoJawad ,

Thats is a really known problem! Theoretically, a closed Brep should result in a closed mesh, however, in complex geometries, may be a decimal problem, producing an open mesh.

What I always do is:

  1. Make the transformation from brep to mesh in some coordinates close to the origin.
  2. I use the rhino/grasshopper command Align Vertices with a small tolerance i.e. 0.001
  3. I use the Rhino command Fill the holes just in case a small holes exists in the mesh

Following previous steps, meshes become as always closed.

I hope that this information proves helpful

Regards
