A non-manifold edge is owned by three or more surfaces.

Non-manifold edges are colored yellow by default.

They typically occur at "T" intersections between surfaces or when 2 or more duplicate surfaces exist.  The automesher always places seed nodes along their length and will produce a continuous mesh without any gaps along that edge. The automesher will not construct any individual elements that cross over a T-joint edge.  These edges cannot be suppressed.
