Merge Nodes tool

Use the Merge Nodes command to merge one or more nodes to a single node. The Merge command acts only on the nodes that you specify, whereas the Global Merge command searches the entire mesh and merges all nodes within the specified distance from each other.

To access this panel, click Merge Nodes (Mesh tab > Mesh Repair panel > Merge Nodes).

In the Input parameters section of the dialog, select the nodes you want to merge and the node you would like to merge them to.

Decide whether you want merge nodes along an element edge only.

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.
