Splitting edges

Video: Clean up a midsurface in preparation for meshing

Use Split Edge to divide a single edge into two separate edges at the location you specify. Split Edge lets you split any polygon edge in your model into two separate edges. You may want to split an edge when:

  • You want to define separate boundary conditions on different portions of an edge.

  • You're preparing to split a face.

Options in the Split Edge dialog box let you define the location where the software splits the edge.

Where do I find it?

With a FEM file active, choose Home tab→Polygon Geometry group→Split Edge .
