Valid parts, precise parts, and tolerance

A part that you import into Abaqus/CAE must be valid if you wish to analyze the part with Abaqus/Standard or Abaqus/Explicit. The following sections describe valid and precise parts and how Abaqus/CAE uses imprecise modeling and tolerance to construct an imported part.
