The Mesh menu is available when the 3D Mesh module is active. The menu has one submenu: the Convert To submenu. The menu contains the following commands:

  • New 3D Mesh
    Creates a new, empty 3D mesh.
  • Lock All Nodes
    Since it is possible to accidentally drag points, nodes can be "locked" to prevent them from being dragged or edited by toggling on this command.
  • Find Duplicate Nodes...
    Selects nodes that are close to each other within a user specified tolerance.
  • Find Element...
    Selects an element given the element ID.
  • Find Node...
    Selects a node given the node ID.
  • Tessellate
    3D equivalent of Delauney triangulation. Creates a 3D tet mesh from mesh nodes.
  • Renumber
    Renumbers mesh nodes eliminating gaps in numbering. Optionally a node string can be created and used to guide the renumbering.
  • Repack Nodes... ||
  • Refine Elements...
    Subdivides elements into smaller elements.
  • Classify Elements
    Element materials are assigned based on the solid the element centroid is within.
  • Iso-surface Options... ||
  • Iso-surface Volumes... ||
  • Mesh → 3D Scatter Points
    A new 3D scatter point set is created from the 3D mesh nodes.
  • 3D Mesh → 2D Mesh
    Creates a 2D mesh from the upward facing elements of the 3D mesh.
  • New Material Set ||
  • Export
    Exports a 3D mesh to a file (*.3dm, *.fem etc).
