About this Block
What it does: Combines adjacent nodes of multiple FE Meshes to generate a single FE Mesh. Nodes from the different meshes, within a distance tolerance, collapse into a single node. Commons uses:- Export one mesh object that may have disconnected pieces.
- Merging a list of meshes for downstream use.
- The merged node will take the location from the first FE Mesh in the list.
- For example, if two meshes are in a list, merged nodes will take the location of the first mesh in the list, and if you add a third mesh, the merged nodes of that mesh will be merged into the nodes in the mesh from the first merging process.
- Nodes are merged, but faces and edges are preserved.
- If the merged meshes have matching meshes on the interface, the inner multiple boundaries are removed.
