Equivalence Node

Mesh > Modify > By Element > Equivalence Node

Description

This option is used to equivalence one node to another.

Tolerance

The nodes will be equivalenced if the distance between two nodes is within the tolerance value.

Automatic

Turn ON this toggle to proceed the process automatically after picking the entity. Choosing the first node and second node will automatically equivalence both the nodes.

To mid position

Turn ON this toggle to position the equivalenced node to the mid point of two input nodes.

Steps

Select two nodes.

  1. First node will be the reference node and second node will be the delete node.
  2. After equivalence we will have reference node alone.

Note:
  • Suppose if we have an element edge between these two nodes, equivalence won't work. In that case See collapse option.
  • The boundary nodes of a solid body can be equivalence.
