Node quadrangular generation dialog

This dialog is used to generate a quadrangular plane of nodes within a boundary set of four selected nodes.

Opens when the Quadratic Generation tool is selected on the Node ribbon tab in the Edit group.

You must select four nodes not along a single line but within a single plane to define the plane of the node generation. The line segments between nodes do not need to be parallel. They can form any four-sided polygonal shape.

SettingDescription
Number of nodes in 1-2 side Type the number of evenly spaced nodes along the first side of the quadrangle.
Number of nodes in 2-3 side Type the number of evenly spaced nodes along the adjacent side of the quadrangle.
