|
|
|
|
This functionality allows user to detect groups of coincident nodes
|
|
with specified tolerance; each group of the coincident nodes can be
|
|
then converted to the single node.

|
<em>To merge nodes of your mesh:</em>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Choose \b Modification -> \b Transformation -> <b>Merge nodes</b>
|
|
menu item. The following dialog box shall appear:</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
\image html mergenodes_auto.png
|
|
<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>\b Name is the name of the mesh whose nodes will be merged.</li>
|
|
<li>\b Automatic or \b Manual mode allows choosing how the nodes are
|
|
processed. In \b Manual mode you can adjust groups of coincident nodes
|
|
detected by the program and/or select any nodes to be merged.</li>
|
|
<li>\b Tolerance is a maximum distance between nodes sufficient for
|
|
merging.</li>
|
|
<li>Activation of <b>No merge of corner and medium nodes of quadratic
|
|
cells</b> check-box prevents merging medium nodes of quadratic
|
|
elements with corner nodes. This check-box is enabled provided
|
|
that the selected mesh includes quadratic elements.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Exclude groups from detection</b> group allows to ignore the
|
|
nodes which belong to the specified mesh groups. This control is
|
|
active provided that the mesh includes groups.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Nodes to keep during the merge</b> group allows to specify
|
|
nodes to keep in the mesh. (By default a node being the first in a
|
|
group of coincident nodes is kept.) It is possible to either select
|
|
nodes in the Viewer or select groups of any element type whose nodes
|
|
will be kept.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>\a Selection button activates selection of nodes to keep.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Nodes</b> button activates selection of nodes in the
|
|
Viewer.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Groups and sub-meshes</b> button activates selection of
|
|
groups and sub-meshes.</li>
|
|
<li>\b Add button adds selected nodes or groups to the list.</li>
|
|
<li> Nodes or groups selected in the list can be removed using \b
|
|
Remove button.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><b>Automatic mode:</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In the \b Automatic Mode all nodes within the indicated tolerance
|
|
will be merged. The nodes which belong to the groups specified in
|
|
<b>Exclude groups from detection</b> will NOT be taken into account.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li><br>
|
|
<li> The \b Manual mode gives you full control of what the operation will do.
|
|
In this mode additional controls are available:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>\b Detect button generates the list of coincident nodes for the given
|
|
\b Tolerance.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Coincident nodes</b> is a list of groups of nodes for
|
|
merging. Upon \b Apply all nodes of each group will
|
|
be united into one node. The first node of a group is kept and
|
|
the others are removed. By default the first node has a lowest ID
|
|
within the group.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>\b Remove button deletes the selected group from the list.</li>
|
|
<li>\b Add button adds to the list a group of nodes selected in the
|
|
viewer.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Select all</b> check-box selects all groups.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Show double nodes IDs</b> check-box shows/hides identifiers of
|
|
nodes of selected groups in the 3D viewer.</li>
|
|
</ul>
