The Merge Tolerance option allows you to merge nodes that
are within a specified tolerance.
- Nodes
specifies the nodes which are checked for proximity within the tolerance.
- Tolerance
specifies the tolerance value. This function will attempt to merge pairs of selected nodes whose proximity to each other is within the tolerance.
- Ignore Projection
ignores restrictions based on node projection during merging. For instance, two point projected nodes cannot be merged because they are each confined to their respective points. This option ignores that restriction and allows the merge.
- Only on Single Edges
allows you to easily select all the mesh, but will only perform node merging on the perimeter of the surface mesh (single edges). Interior nodes, those on double or multiple edges, are not merged with this option, even if their proximity is within the tolerance.
Note: To color-code single edges yellow, right-click Shells > Diagnostics in the Display tree and enable Single edges.
Tip: To speed the mesh refinement, turn off visibility of in the Display Tree before applying the merge.
