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

 
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 ?
 
Yes in deed they were part of a same element I could not see.

Thank you,
W
