indicate if the model appears to have problems.
•

mesh to bring up the repair options dialog.

From the options dialog choose the loaded mesh, then perform each
analysis be clicking the

It is important to review the effect the repair script has made to the
model. It may be the case that the script damages the file, rather
than repair, for example by removing important triangles.
