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.

NOTE.png 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.
