Fill Hole(s)       

The Fill Holes command will allow you to specify holes/cutouts in the geometry that will be removed in the mesh generation step. Holes/cutouts can be selected by clicking on the edge of each hole/cutout or by box selecting a group of holes/cutouts. Any hole or cutout that you specify to be filled will still be visible on the part geometry, but will be filled during the mesh generation step. 

NOTE:  Multiple holes can be selected by holding the Ctrl key.

Select the Fill Holes icon in the Workbench Toolbar to bring up the Geometry - Mark Holes to Fill dialog box, shown below.

Once you have selected the holes to be filled, press the OK button in the Geometry - Mark Holes to Fill dialog box and the selected holes will be filled during meshing.

The following illustrates the selection of a hole to be filled during meshing.

The following illustrates the selected hole filled after meshing.

NOTE:  FormingSuite handles filling holes differently if the hole is on one surface or spanning over multiple surfaces. 

If the hole is on one surface FormingSuite will ignore the hole and simply mesh the surface.  This situation is illustrated below.

If the hole spans over multiple surfaces FormingSuite will first mesh the surfaces and then fill the hole with mesh.  This situation is illustrated below.
