What are different diagnostics for a tetra/prism/pyramid mesh?
It’s normally useful to tear-off the diagnostics pop-up menu panel to reduce the amount of mouse clicks. Then check the Error, and Possible Problem checks. If any elements are reported, an automatic Fix can be attempted, or use Select to add these cells to a subset. Using subset manipulation, and mesh editing techniques, diagnose the problem and resolve it through merging nodes, splitting edges, swapping edges, delete/create elements, etc. For more info see the on-line help (4.2 Mesh Editor -> Edit Mesh -> Edit Nodes/Elements/Edges). For subset manipulation (mesh display), use the “Display subset – Modify” button in the lower portion of the right hand display column. This will be done automatically if “Select” is picked when prompted after the diagnostic is finished. Usually, one would “Add layer” in the pop up menu, then select “Display options – Solid/wireframe” in the right hand column to get a better visualization of the problem. Keep in mind that after mesh editing, the diagnostic
