I have generated surfaces which share some edges. After meshing and doing ‘Quality→Coincidence Check’ I see there are coincident nodes created on the shared edges. I would like to quickly merge all such nodes. How to do this?
I could find a command to ‘merge node ID1 ID2’ but I want to do this programmatically through command and select nodes based on distance criteria to merge them.
Hi dvijay,
Welcome to the forum!
If you use the imprint/merge paradigm on the geometry prior to meshing, you normally don’t have to deal with merging nodes manually.
For example, here I create three surfaces that share a curve. I imprint and merge the surfaces and there are no duplicate edges in the model.
create surface rectangle width 1
body 1 copy move x 1 y .5
body 1 copy move x 1 y -.5
imprint all
merge all
mesh surface all
topology check coincident node surface all
I can give some other options if you really need nodal equivalencing, but this is the preferred way to handle this in Cubit.
Thanks,
Karl
