Importing into SolidWorks…
Faulty face Gaps between faces
• Parasolid Features (Geometry, Topology, Display data) can become corrupted during translation.
• SolidWorks tries to repair this with Import Diagnostics.

FeatureWorks…
Automatic Feature Recognition:The Software attempts to recognize as many features as possible.
Interactive Feature Recognition:You select the feature type and entities.
Tip:Recognize fillets and chamfers first.Interactive recognition of any extrusions or revolves is simpler after fillets/chamfers are recognized.Perform Automatic Feature Recognition after you have simplified the model with Interactive Feature Recognition.
