This option allows
the user to check and merge coincident nodes in the database. Coincident nodes
are defined nodes having a distance between each other that is less than or
equal to a specified tolerance. eta/DYNAFORM
merges all coincident nodes into the one with the lowest node ID number and
sets all non-associated nodes as free nodes.
●
Select
an option in the displayed dialog box (all the nodes, the displayed nodes or
the selected nodes in the model).
●
Type
the tolerance in the displayed dialog box.
eta/DYNAFORM prints the number of coincident nodes in the message prompt
window and displays the eta/DYNAFORM Question dialog box asking the user to
confirm the merge node operation.
●
Select
Yes to merge the coincident nodes.
