To align nodes

To align nodes in a straight line, use the following procedure.

This procedure will align the selected nodes along an imaginary axis connecting the extreme two nodes in the selection set. This can be used for member or surface edge nodes.
  1. Select two or more nodes. Members and surfaces may be in the selection set. This will not affect the node alignment.
  2. On the Nodal ribbon tab, select the Align Nodes tool in the Edit group.

The program calculates the new coordinates for each node so that they lie on a straight line segment between the end nodes.
