CONVERGENT NODES
CONVERGENT NODES
Hello. When I model a frame, two nodes at the same coordinates are assigned. I apply mesh too. My frame and node.tcl file are same as seem. Thanks for your help.

Re: CONVERGENT NODES
Your model generates overlapping (but separated) nodes, just because you told STKO to do so...
Why?
Because you model 3 separated lines. Each line will be meshed an will generate 2 nodes, so you have a total of 6 nodes.
This is fine if you want them to be physically detached. If instead you want them to be continuous, i.e. nodes at the same location should be merged into a single node, use the MakeWire command (if you are working only with lines) or the Merge command(if you are using also surfaces or solids, or if you want to create intersection).
If you click on the MakeWire command, select all your 3 lines, and right-click(or RETURN), you will see that your 3 lines will be joined into a single WIRE (that is a polyline). Now that they are part of a single geometry, it will generate just 4 nodes!
