How do I check the integrity of my model from within the Physical Modeler workflow?

 

During the generation of a model sometimes errors can arise.  In the Physical Modeler there exists a tool called Integrity Check that you can use to search for issues such as duplicate nodes, overlapping members, etc.  It can be found under the Model ribbon as shown below:

When you click on Integrity Check, a dialog box will appear where you can specify the checks you'd like to perform:

Click "Validate" to perform the checks.  Any issues discovered will be listed in the Output window.  You will have the option to delete problematic entities such as duplicate nodes as well.
