Which tool analyzes a part for model issues like self-intersecting faces?

The tool that analyzes a part for model issues like self-intersecting faces is the Examine Geometry tool. This tool is specifically designed to identify and diagnose geometric problems within a 3D model, such as self-intersections, gaps, and other anomalies that can impede the success of downstream processes like manufacturing or simulation.

When using Examine Geometry, users can make thorough assessments of complex surfaces to ensure they meet the intended design requirements. This capability is vital in design validation, finding defects, and enhancing the overall quality of the model. By pinpointing problematic areas, users can refine their designs and correct issues before proceeding to further stages of development, ensuring smoother workflows and reducing the risk of errors.

Other tools mentioned, such as Optimize Geometry and Face Analysis, serve different functions—optimizing the model or evaluating its surface quality, respectively— but they do not specifically focus on identifying self-intersections or similar geometric faults. This distinction highlights why Examine Geometry is the appropriate choice for analyzing a part for such issues.
