Optimizing node distribution in mesh

The Smooth Nodes command in the Mesh Tools dialog moves nodes as required to generate a smoother mesh.

  1. Click Smooth Nodes (Mesh tab > Mesh Repair panel > Smooth Nodes).
  2. Select the node(s) which need to be smoothed, by either entering the node number(s) into the Select drop-down list or selecting the nodes on the model.
  3. Select Preserve feature edges if you do not want to move nodes on feature edges.
  4. Click Apply. The node will be moved to create a smoother element line.
