Imposing Nodes

You can impose nodes by distributing them along an edge or around a hole, by propagating an existing node distribution, or by capturing elements.

The Mesh Specifications toolbar provides tools to impose nodes and to create mesh specifications that you can edit at any time. Those mesh specifications are stored in the tree under a Mesh specifications set that belongs to the current 2D mesh.
