Merge 2 or more nodes into 1, or merge two nodes by selecting be moved and be kept node continuously. It is mostly used to connect nodes between elements that are slightly apart during the modeling modification process. It is useful when checking for model errors due to free edges by checking the free nodes that are not connected to an element.
▒Methodology
Selected Nodes
Select the nodes to merge and define the merge criterion. The tolerance is the allowable limit of the merger; nodes with spacing smaller than the tolerance are merged. Selecting ‘find’ automatically searches for nodes below the tolerance. The merged node positions are specified by the node number (Smallest ID/Largest ID) or the Center of Nodes (Merge Nodes at the Center Location). The [Blink Mark] function indicates the Free Nodes on the screen, which can be used to distinguish modeling errors such as Free Edges.
2-Nodes
Merge 2 nodes by selecting the moving node and maintained node. If a Free Edge is created on a small area, the Merge 2-Nodes function can be used to edit easily.
