Step 8: Click the Recheck Intersections button ( ). If the problem is solved, theintersection is removed from the list and HyperCrash automatically continues to thenext intersection. If the problem is not solved, repeat the steps 7 and 8 in order tomove the nodes and correct the intersection.
Step 9: Validate the node picking and moving in the Dialog Menu Bar.
Note: While you are moving a node, the quality of elements around the node is shown incolor:
Green = good
Orange = acceptable
Red = bad
Note: Sometimes, HyperCrash suggests displacements by displaying arrows:

Step 14:Wait for HyperCrash to finish the correction process (this may take a few seconds).
Note: There are two options to find and to correct the penetrations in HyperCrash: youmay use either a variable or a constant gap.
The variable gap option (ifGap_interface = variable) searches and corrects thepenetrations, taking the actual thicknesses of the plates into account (coming fromthe PID).
The constant gap option (if you enter a value forGap_interface) uses a (user-defined) fixed value (the value might be the gap of your interface, for instance) tosearch and correct the penetrations.
At the end of the automatic penetration correction, 0 penetrations remain: all thepenetrations are automatically corrected by HyperCrash.
