Disconnect elements
The Disconnect elements dialog box is used to disconnect elements from the existing structure at a specified nodal position. New nodes are created at the original positions and the selected elements are then attached to the new nodes. Joints may be created to join the original nodes with the new.
The elements that are to be disconnected must be selected prior to opening this dialog box.
Where several elements are to be disconnected from a particular node it may be necessary to flip some of the elements to result in the particular node appearing at the same nodal position for all selected elements, prior to opening this dialog box.
Open this dialog box by giving the Sculpt > Disconnect elements menu command when the current view is a Graphic view.
Topology
The selected elements will be disconnected at the specified nodal position.
Connect new node to existing by joint
When checked, a joint is created for every new node, joining it with the existing node. Default joint directions are applied to the new joints.
