Cracks in Mesh : Only shows up in Results Calculix

AftabAftab
I've attached a screenshot of my part model. When the "Open Crack" window is open during pre-processing, no cracks are visible. However, cracks appear in the results after running the analysis (CalculiX-based). I’ve tried merging nearby nodes, but there doesn’t seem to be any visible crack in the model space during pre-processing.

    They're not really disconnected. At sharp corners, CCX connects expanded shell elements with knots (MPCs) instead of shared nodes, so they still transfer forces normally.

    Thanks Victor for your response. Good to know this is normal.
