Merging meshes

The Merge Meshes command lets you merge manually created, extracted, or imported meshes in the Simulation Navigator. The meshes to be merged must:

• Not be associated with any geometry.

• Be located in the same mesh collector.

When you use this command, the first mesh that you select becomes the merged mesh. The software then adds the remaining selected meshes to the first mesh. The merged mesh retains characteristics of the first mesh, including the mesh name, mesh associated data, and mesh display settings.

The graphic shows the mesh names and display colors before and after three extracted meshes are merged.

You can use the Merge Meshes command to organize your meshes in the Simulation Navigator. Merge Meshes is particularly useful when you are working with large, imported models. You can also use the Merge Meshes command in conjunction with the Extract Elements command.
