12.8 Numbering merged nodes

Product: Abaqus/CAE  

Benefits: You can now retain either the highest or lowest label of selected nodes that you are merging. This allows you to maintain a known range of node labeling across merged parts.

Description: When you use the Edit Mesh toolset to merge selected nodes, you can now select whether the label of the single new node retains the lowest or highest number of the merged nodes. Figure 12–7 shows the prompt area during the node merge procedure and the menu that allows you to choose the label of the single new node.
