Create Wireframe Elements dialog box

Select Nodes
Appears when you use the Wireframe Elements command from the Pre-Test Planning group.
Select Node	Lets you select any nodes in the graphics window to include in wireframe.
Node Labels	Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, type:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press Enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection .
Size Reduction
Appears when you use the Wireframe Elements command from the Pre-Test Planning group to create wireframe elements from any nodes in FEM.
Perform Size Reduction	Lets you reduce the number of selected nodes.
Maximum Number of Nodes	Sets the maximum number of nodes to include in wireframe.
Minimum Distance	Sets the minimum distance allowed between nodes.
Wireframe Parameters/Automatic Wireframe Parameters
Wireframe Elements appears when you use the Wireframe Elements command from the Pre-Test Planning group. Automatic Wireframe Parameters appears when you use the Create Wireframe Elements command from Simulation Navigator to create wireframe elements from a group of nodes defined in a DOF set.
Min Angle Between Wires	Sets the minimum angle, in degrees, between wires connected to a given node. The minimum angle must be greater than 0.
Max Number of Wires per Node	Sets the maximum number of wires that connect a given node to other nodes. The maximum number of wires must be greater than 0.
Max Distance Ratio	Sets the ratio of the distance between two connected nodes over the average distance of the six closest nodes. The maximum distance ratio must be greater or equal to 1.
