  • Delete – Delete selected mesh Nodes.
  • Assign BC – Assign a boundary condition to selected mesh nodes.
  • TransformTransform the selected nodes either by scaling, translation, or rotation.
  • TriangulateTriangulate the selected nodes to form triangle elements.

  • Delete Selected – Delete selected nodestrings.
  • Assign BC – Assign a boundary condition to selected nodestrings.
  • 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.
