- | Merge a Structural and excavation volume model together in an active model. Allows user to create a model for plotting when using the [[:Legal|ANSYS]](r) capability. Similar to the [[com:Merge]] command. All elements in the soil model will be converted into soil elements and the materials will be converted to soil layers. See the [[example:merge| MergeSoil Example]] for usage. | + | Merge a Structural and excavation volume model together in an active model. All elements in the soil model will be converted into soil elements and the materials will be converted to soil layers. See the [[example:merge| MergeSoil Example]] for usage. During the node merging proces, the higher number node will no longer be used, and can be removed with the [[com:RMVUNUSED]] command. |
