< p > This functionality allows you to unite two free borders of a 2D mesh.< / p >
< p > < / p >

< p > < / p >

< / ul >
< p > < / p >
< p > You can select these nodes in the 3D viewer or define by its id.< / p >
< p > < / p >
< p > The first and the second nodes should belong to the same link of a face.
The second and the last nodes of a border can be the same. The first and
the last nodes of two borders can be the same. The corresponding end nodes
of two borders will be merged. Intermediate nodes of two borders will
be either merged or inserted into faces of the opposite border.< / p >
< p > < / p >
< p > The sewing algorithm is as follows:< / p >
< p > < / p >
< p class = "whs4" > 1. The parameter (U) of each node within
a border is computed. So that the first node has U=0.0, the last node
has U=1.0, for the rest nodes 0.0 < U < 1.0;< / p >
< p class = "whs4" > 2. Compare node parameters of the two borders.
If two nodes of the opposite borders have close parameters, they are merged,
i.e. a node of the first border is replaced in all elements by a node
of the second border. If a node has no node with a close parameter in
the opposite border, it is inserted into an edge of element of the opposite
border, an element is split. Two nodes are considered close enough to
merge, if difference of their parameters is less than one fifth of minimum
length of adjacent face edges on the borders.< / p >
