Detaching elements of a FEMAP mesh 1

[pspin9]

Hello All!

Do you know any 'quick/smart' command for detaching already generated mesh elements on some of their connecting nodes, which can duplicate coincident nodes and re-mesh using different nodes for adjacent elements (like the 'opposite' of a merging operation)?

Many thanks,
p.

Hello pspin9,

Go to Mesh/Connect/Unzip, select elements and nodes to be used for the unzip command.

Nodes to be selected are those at the interface you want to unzip

Thanks Compositecurves for your answer.
The command is also useful because it let us insert connective elements like rigid ones, springs, gaps, etc.
