Merge Nodes tool dialog

Use the Merge Nodes command to merge one or more nodes to a single node.

Note: Ensure that the nodes in the part are visible and selectable by activating the required layers in the Layers pane.

Dialog element	Explanation
Nodes to merge to	Specifies the node into which you want to merge one or more other nodes. The second text box identifies the node(s) to merge.
Number of nodes selected	This section reports how many nodes you have selected to merge.
Merge nodes along an element edge only	Nodes are merged if: they are connected to the same element type and they form an element edge, OR they are not connected to the same element type. For example, one node is connected to triangular elements only, and another to beam elements only. Note: Deselect this option when using Global merge to fix free edges.
Merge to midpoint	Merges the two nodes to a single point mid-way between the two nodes.
Automatic apply when selection complete	When this checkbox is activated, the selected tool is applied automatically to the chosen mesh elements whenever all inputs have been specified.
Create as	This section is disabled for this dialog.
Filter	Use the filter to select a particular model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer snaps to the specified entity.
