Collapse of thin rhombic surface

Dear OpenCASCADE developers:

is it possible to collapse very thin rhombic plane surface?

Thank you in advance.

Hello. Could you please share some more details? Share the demonstration of your case.

Best regards, Dmitrii.

Dear Dmitrii,

thank you for response.

When I tried to heal some geometry, I met very narrow geometrical quad in it. The MWE was choosed as geometry in the attached picture, but with smallest diagonal about 1e-8.

Working in the Gmsh (with the OCC geometrical kernel) I firstly tried Heal/HealShapes technique but it did not help.

Later, I tried Coherence command (which is shortcut to BooleanFragments) and I have succeed to erase both thin surface 5 and all its extra curves and points, being kept correct full object topology.

So, the problem is solved and the answer is yes - OCC can collapse thin rhomb-like surfaces. The warning was : Fragments - BOPAlgo_AlertAcquiredSelfIntersection BOPAlgo_AlertAcquiredSelfIntersection BOPAlgo_AlertFaceBuilderUnusedEdges.

Thank you again for response.
