merging coincident nodes

merging coincident nodes

merging coincident nodes

(OP)
I have two coincident nodes that I'm unable to merge. Does anyone know why coincident nodes would not show up as coincident when performing the check?

Thank you,
W

RE: merging coincident nodes

They could be part of the same element, the distance could be too great, or have different output coordinate systems.

RE: merging coincident nodes

777spaceman hit the high points. If you are still having difficulty figuring out what is going on, I suggest selecting "Detailed List" as the Action in the Check/Merge Coincident dialog menu. It will tell you more about why 2 nodes cannot be merged.

RE: merging coincident nodes

could loads/constraints be applied to both nodes ?

it sounds like either
1) both nodes are undeletable ('cause they're being used for something like loads or constraints), or
2) maybe your coincident node check says to delete a specific node (lower, higher, ...) and that one is undeletable ?

RE: merging coincident nodes

(OP)
Yes in deed they were part of a same element I could not see.

Thank you,
W
