Use the Create Points/Nodes tool to create and edit points/nodes on geometry surfaces and lines or in space. Points and nodes can be used to
establish reference locations for geometry construction and meaningful snap locations for use with other tools.
A surface represents the geometry associated with a physical part. A surface is a two-dimensional geometric entity that
may be used in automatic mesh generation.
Solids are closed volume of surfaces that can take any shape. Solids are three-dimensional entities that can be used in
automatic tetra and solid meshing.
Learn about creating, editing, and extracting points and nodes.
Points
A point is a zero-dimensional geometric entity.
Nodes
Nodes are the most basic finite element entity. A node represents a physical position on the structure being modeled.
Create and Edit Points/Nodes
Use the Create Points/Nodes tool to create and edit points/nodes on geometry surfaces and lines or in space. Points and nodes can be used to establish reference locations for geometry construction and meaningful snap locations for use with other tools.
Extract Points and Nodes
Use the Extract Points/Nodes tool to interpolate and divide an edge or line, and find the center of an arc, fillet, or multiple curve segments.
