(This menu item is only available with an opened model file.)

The following menu items appear:

 

 

 

Move

With this menu item it is possible to move the origin of a model, for example to change from relative (x, y) coordinates on Gauss-Krueger coordinates. The offset in x- and/or y-direction has to be entered.

 

 

 

Scale

With this menu item a model can be re-scaled, i.e. the factor enlarge or reduce the distances in X and/or Y- direction. The scale factor in x- and/or y-direction has to be entered.

 

 

 

Rotate

With this menu item the coordinate system of a model is rotated. It is expected to enter a rotation angle (in degrees counter-clockwise).

 

 

 

 

Adjust numbering

The following input is possible:

 

 

 

Scale in x-/y-direction

With this menu item the scale of the model file in x- and/or y-direction is changed.

 

3D-no.-offset (3D model only)

With this menu item the 3D-no.offset (3DNR) of a 3D model is enlarged or reduced. If an enlargement is necessary in the modeling / refinement, the 3D offset is automatically adjusted.

 

Min. node-/element number

All node numbers and/or element numbers can be modified by changing the minimum node number or the minimum element number by a certain offset higher numbered or numbered down. The node and element numbers have to (by numbering down) remain positive. The no longer appropriate offset for the 3D-numbering changes automatically.

This feature is used primarily for the coupling of two models.

 

Consecutive node/element numbering

From the mesh generation or editing the mesh develop gaps in the node and element numbering. This can lead to a too small 3D offset, although there are not so many nodes or elements. In these cases it may be useful to number the nodes and/or element consecutively.
