Shell/SEO Glich

[Chris Grantham]

Has anyone seen this behavior before? I am trying to SEO a shell with a bunch of slabs to create a canopy effect, but for some reason a bunch of the shell loses it's material, even though it is not SEO'd . I've attached a couple pictures to illustrate what I mean. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance!

Here is what it looks like before the SEO with the slabs as wire frames.

FYI I have tried re-creating the shell with a complex profile wall, but am still getting the same result.

Your many curved holes may be stressing the shell. To test this you could try SEOing 1/4 of the holes and then adding another 1/4 of the holes etc to see when the number of holes is too many?

Then you could split up the shell into sections. Will it be manufactured in sections?

I tried the same but without seo, using 'define shell contour' and 'create hole in shell' functions. The key is to divide in small parts as shown on my screenshot, it is very slow if I create a complete shell shape but as soon as I do a part of it and then duplicate it works fine

Til I totally forgot about that option. Thanks! Interestingly when I give the shell a little more curve there is no problem with the SEO.
