Right-clicking on a selected nodestring while using the Select Nodestring tool will bring up the following options:

  • Delete Selected – Delete selected nodestrings.
  • Assign BC – Assign a boundary condition to selected nodestrings. This command is only available for certain mesh models.
  • Reverse Direction – Reverse direction of selected nodestrings.
  • Force Breaklines – Force element edges to follow the selected nodestrings.
  • Renumber Nodes – Renumber the nodes starting with an ID of 1.
  • Renumber Nodestrings – renumber the nodestrings starting with an ID of 1.
  • Smooth – Smooth the mesh boundary along the path of a selected nodestring by moving midside nodes. Only used for quadratic elements.

Right-clicking on a selected element while using the Select Elements tool will bring up the following options:

  • Delete – Delete selected element.
  • Refine – Split all selected elements into four elements.
  • Relax – Moves all the nodes on the interior of the selected elements to the centroid of their contributing area. Iterates based on option set in the options command.
