Good morning, guys.
I write a question hoping to explain to me since it is not purely inherent autocad, or at least not only.
for my thesis of architecture I had to model on autocad a medieval castle (on which I will perform a seismic analysis). the created model I then have to export it to straus7, a fea program (finite element analysis). errors are generated in the interface between the two programs. This is what I find written on the site of straus7: "cad models are often created for the purpose of visually conveying the geometry of an object. although fea models similar, they have the added requirement of fulfilling the non-visual purpose of mathematically simulating the structural behaviour of that object. the conversion of a cad model into an fea model must account for this discrepancy. strand7 includes a number of tools that can sacrifice help in this conversion."
discrepancies that arise include the presence of faces not perfectly adjacent - originated from the "imperfect" fusion of solids - that autocad does not identify, while straus yes, signaling them as error. the commands on rhinestone do not eliminate my problem and therefore I cannot continue, but on autocad I cannot identify the error to try to correct it. the question is therefore this: exists on autocad a command that gives note of "internal" faces to solids originating from the union not "perfect" of volumes between them?
I link what is on the site of straus7 if you are interested.

Thank you all!
