The Exact option allows you to modify the coordinates of selected
nodes. The nodes may be moved individually or in relation to a reference
location.
Multiple nodes can be selected and modified at the same time. Typically, this function is used to modify a number of nodes to one specific coordinate, for example Y=0, to ensure a true symmetry plane.
- Method
- Offset
allows you to select the coordinate direction and units of distance to offset the selected nodes.
- Position
allows you to select the Reference location of the nodes to be moved and based on its position, modify the X, Y, and Z (or R, Theta, and Z) directions of the selected nodes. The reference location can either be an existing node, or a position on the screen.
- Set
specifies the appropriate coordinate system and direction to move the nodes.
Cartesian Coordinate System
You can select the direction to move the nodes: X, Y, or Z and enter the number of units of distance.
Cylindrical Coordinate System
You can select the direction to move the nodes: R, θ, or Z and enter the number of units of distance.
- Select Nodes
specifies the nodes selected. Select the nodes to be moved and click . After selecting a node, its location coordinates will be displayed in the message window.
