Smooth Nodes tool

Use the Smooth Nodes command to create element edge lengths of a similar size for a more uniform mesh.

To use this tool, click Smooth Nodes (Mesh > Mesh Tools > Smooth Nodes).

In the Input parameters section of the dialog, select the nodes you want to smooth.

Choose whether you would like to preserve feature edges.

In the Selection option section of the dialog, indicate whether you would like to use filtering and if so, the type of filtering.

Note: Many of the mesh repair tools involve selecting or manipulating nodes. Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.
