FE Model Correlation and Update > Correlation solution process

Node mapping

The Node Map [#] node in the Simulation Navigator stores all the reference and work model node pairs.

The node map is created when you create a correlation solution process based on the alignment that was performed, and the matching tolerance value.

In the Correlation Details View subpanel, you can inspect node pairs and unmapped test nodes.

Unmapped test nodes highlighted in yellow

You can increase the matching tolerance value or refine the reference model alignment to reduce the number of unmapped nodes.
