Renumbering Target
Node : Renumber node numbers
Element : Renumber element numbers
Node & Element : Renumber node and element numbers
Sorting Order
By Global Axes : Apply new element (node) numbers in the order of priority by Global Axes.
1st : Assign an axis with the highest priority when renumbering elements (nodes).
2nd : Assign an axis with the second priority
3rd : Assign the remaining axis
Selection Type
All : All the elements (nodes) are targeted
By Selection : The selected elements (nodes) are targeted
New Start Number
Node : New starting node number
Element : New starting element number
Renumbering Option
Cartesian Coordinate : Apply new element (node) numbers in the order of priority by Global Axes.
1st : Assign an axis with the highest priority when renumbering elements (nodes).
2nd : Assign an axis with the second priority
3rd : Assign the remaining axis
Cylindrical Coordinate : Apply cylindrical coordinates and align based on user-defined cylindrical coordinate system.
Sorting Order is determined by the coordinates.
In other words, the numbering starts in a sequence from the node with the smallest coordinate to the node with the largest coordinate in the axis with the highest priority. When the coordinates of more than one node are equal in an assigned axis, the numbering restarts in the axis with the next priority from the node with the smallest coordinate.
