A 2D line connect object represents a flow exchange boundary. It lets you associate a Connect 2D node (a node whose Node type set to 2D and its Connection type set to 2D) to the multiple 2D elements in a 2D mesh that intersect the line. The 2D elements are used in the calculation of the flow exchange between the 2D surface and the associated node.
The following describes all the data which defines a 2D line connect.

2D connect line XY Data |
The coordinate of the line vertices. The underlying data consists of a series of (x,y) pairs. Each line is made up of a series of straight lines between the defined (x,y) pairs. This data is not displayed on the grid or property sheet. Coordinates of line vertices are included when you export line data to CSV files. There are two options available for exporting line coordinates. These are selected on the Select CSV Export Options Dialog using the Coordinate Arrays Format dropdown. The options are:
