Simulate Early, Simulate Often... In Rhino
Selected object is not a valid solid object
Hello,
I am trying to build a model
As i add complexity to the model I eventually get to a point where SNS doesn't let me continue; displaying the message "Selected object is not a valid solid object" even though SNS has accpeted the model before with only slightly less complexity.
can anybody help me in solving the issue? Is there, for example, a Rhino tool that i can use to join all the parts of the model together in a simplified manner?
any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

it is a solid object. i have attached images below to show my problem. the first image is accepted by SNS. the second image with the new pipe Booleaned together will not be accepted....
What i really want to do, is import into SNS a model like the 3rd image.....
Thank you.

Hello George,
Scan&Solve doesn't do anything special beyond what Rhino functionality says about a shape being a valid closed polysurface that represents a valid solid. I do see in your first image some odd half cylinders residing inside the joint piece - this suggests something is not quite right with the original solid. Also note that Rhino's Boolean operations are finicky about unioning disparate solids with coincident surfaces.
