The
Node By Intersect tool allows you to create nodes when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this tool, click
().
The
Create Nodes by Intersect command is used to create a node at each intersection of two curves.
| Dialog element | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Intersecting curves | Allows you to select the curves that define a region boundary.
Select two curves that intersect. A new node will be created at each intersection of the curves. Move your cursor to the model and rubber-band select, or click on the existing curves. Alternatively, type the curve number (e.g. C1) in the input box. |
| Intersection coordinate | Specifies the point of intersection of two curves. A node will be created at this point of intersection. |
| Automatically create nodes at end points of curve | Select the check box to ensure that a node is created at each end of the curve, after the specified curve is created. |
| Create as | Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves. Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click
Change.

| Filter | The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity. |
