Convert to solid

[tmccar]

I have been trying to stitch this part into a solid but the operation is failing.

I don't see any obvious causes - is there a way to highlight where the issues are?

I don't trust too much in Repair Geometry. Sometimes it's worse than initially. I prefer examining in Construction Environment (CE) instead.

I've seen in CE 3 duplicate fillets and a large missing internal face.

Can you upload the original Solidworks data?

Ok, here it is:

Here are the faulty zones.

The small rectangle can be patched easily, deleting the duplicate fillets is no big deal,too.

But the problem is closing the missing large face at the right. Some additional work is needed.

Hi, here goes my attempt.
The surface has some bad duplicates made on the edges that I have deleted, some places perform a boundary patch.
I split the surface halfway because I thought it had a plane of symmetry.
The patch gave errors when wanting to cover half, so create a simple extrusion, and then remove the faces you did not need from the extrusion.
Finally I sewed the surface, with a big tolerance.
I hope it is useful. regards

Hi, that looks good

Thank you.

Did you do everything in Inventor?

Yes, generally the errors in these cases throw them into the most complex edges of the surface, where the closing of the edges could give problems, you should always look for the geometry that at first sight seems complex. Then the faces are removed, the holes are re-filled, and finally the surface is sewn to reach the solid. In the video I show you how the surfaces that are superimposed on one half are visualized, repaired, and then the other half is defective.
