This function allows the user to renumber any duplicated node ID numbers in the database. The user cannot create duplicated node numbers in eta/DYNAFORM. However, the imported model files from other programs may contain duplicated node ID numbers. eta/DYNAFORM will renumber the duplicated node ID from the existing maximum node ID number.
If any duplicated nodes are found, the following messages will be printed in the message prompt window and in the DYNAFORM.msg message file located in the work directory:
CHECKING nnnn NODES FOR DUPLICATE NODES
DUPLICATE NODE xxxx CHANGED TO yyyy
mmmm DUPLICATE NODES FOUND
If no duplicated nodes are found, the following messages will be printed in the message prompt window and in the DYNAFORM.msg message file located in the work directory:
CHECKING nnnn NODES FOR DUPLICATE NODES
NO DUPLICATE NODE FOUND
