Hi All,

I found the ShapeAnalysis_Wire cannot detect some errors, such as BRepCheck_NotClosed, but BRepCheck_Wire can.
Does anybody find it? Any suggestion is welcome.

-Thanks in advance.

Dear Cauchy Ding.

A wire is just set of edges.
Genreally speaking, a set of edges should not be always closed.
In most cases a wire should be closed in context of a face to which it belongs to,
but again not always.
So, the kind of error BRepCheck_NotClosed is not exactly right thing for a wires.
