Node Tolerance

Nodes that are too close can be merged into one node when outputting the model. The node tolerances can be defined using the Settings part of the Structural Analysis Interface window.

For example, if there is a beam connected to a column and a brace connecting to the same column but with a different JLDATU, the two JLDATUs are merged if their distance is less than the node tolerance. The example displays JLDATUs of Braces merged to JLDATUs of Beams.
