Coupling the entities

If required, any two entities that touch each other in their endpoints can be coupled (joined) to create a single entity.

The procedure for the coupling of entities into one
  1. Start function Join:

    1. either call menu function Modify > Join,

    2. or click button [Join] (image\Icon_Manip_Couple.gif) on toolbar Geometrical manipulations,

  2. Select the entity that should be joined together.

  3. Press [Esc] to end the function.

  4. The individual entities are coupled.

Note 1: The entities that are being coupled together, must lie on one line. Otherwise, it is not possible to create a single 1D member from them.

Note 2: If any entities have been selected prior to calling this function, the function itself does not require making of any other selection. The function is applied on the selection made beforehand.
