Benefits: You can now specify the range of labels that will be applied to selected nodes or elements of an orphan mesh part. This allows you to have consistent numbering for pre- and postprocessing scripts and for creating node lists that are used to view results along a path.
Description: The Edit Mesh toolset now allows you to renumber selected nodes and elements of an orphan mesh part. You can renumber the selected nodes by specifying a starting node label and an increment or by offsetting the existing node label by a specified value. You can select all of the nodes or elements in the part or you can use the following techniques to renumber only selected nodes or elements:
Unordered: Renumber the nodes or elements based on their existing numbers, regardless of the order in which they are selected.
Directed Path: Renumber the nodes or elements along an edge from a selected start point to a selected end point.
Sequence: Renumber the nodes or elements based on the sequence in which you select them.
You can use the new feature edge selection technique to renumber the nodes or elements along a selected edge of the orphan mesh part.
