:align: center
-
- * **Name** is the name of the mesh whose nodes will be merged.
+
+ * **Names** contains names of the selected mesh objects whose nodes will be merged.
* **Automatic** or **Manual** mode allows choosing how the nodes are processed. In **Manual** mode you can adjust groups of coincident nodes detected by the program and/or select any nodes to be merged.
* **Tolerance** is a maximum distance between nodes sufficient for merging.
* Activation of **No merge of corner and medium nodes of quadratic cells** check-box prevents merging medium nodes of quadratic elements with corner nodes. This check-box is enabled provided that the selected mesh includes quadratic elements.
* **Edit selected group of coincident nodes** list allows editing the selected group:
