+This functionality allows user to detect groups of coincident nodes
+with specified tolerance; each group of the coincident nodes can be
+then converted to the single node.

To merge nodes of your mesh:
-- From the \b Modification choose \b Transformation and from its
-sub-menu select the Merge nodes item. The following dialog box
-shall appear:
-

- Choose \b Modification -> \b Transformation -> Merge nodes
+ menu item. The following dialog box shall appear:

- \b Name is the name of the mesh whose nodes will be merged.
+- \b Automatic or \b Manual mode allows choosing how the nodes are
+processed.
- \b Tolerance is a maximum distance between nodes sufficient for
-merging.
+merging.
+- Activation of No merge of corner and medium nodes 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.
+- Exclude Groups group box allows to ignore the nodes which
+belong to the specified mesh groups.
+
+
+- Automatic mode:
+
+
+- In the \b Automatic Mode all Nodes within the indicated tolerance
+will be merged. The nodes which belong to the groups specified in the
+Exclude Groups will be not taken into account.
+
+
+- The \b Manual mode gives you full control of what the operation will do.
+In this mode additional controls are available:
- \b Detect button generates the list of coincident nodes for the given
\b Tolerance.
-
-
-- Coincident nodes is a list of groupes of nodes for
-merging. All nodes of each group will form one after the
-operation.
+
- Coincident nodes is a list of groups of nodes for
+ merging. After the operation all nodes of each group will
+ be united into one node. The first node of a group is kept and
+ the others are removed.
- \b Remove button deletes the selected group from the list.
- \b Add button adds to the list a group of nodes selected in the
viewer with pressed "Shift" key.
-- Select all checkbox selects all groups.
+- Select all check-box selects all groups.
+- Show double nodes IDs check-box shows/hides identifiers of
+nodes of selected groups in the 3D viewer.

-- Edit selected group list allows editing the selected
