MERGE,<Mdl1>,<Mdl2>,[X],[Y],[Z]

Merges two models in memory and stores the resulting model in the current active model. In the resulting merged model, the <Mdl1> model will have all the same nodes, elements, etc. , while the <Mdl2> data will be appended to <Mdl1> data with proper renumbering and offsets. The X, Y, and Z arguments allow the user to move the Mdl2 nodes with a constant offset so mdl2 can be repositioned in relation to mdl1. If the models need to be rotated use the ROTATE command prior to merging the models. See the merge example for an application of this command.

• Mdl1 – Model Number 1 to be combined
• Mdl2 - Model Number 2 to be combined
• X – X offset for the second models nodes (default = 0)
• Y - Y offset for the second models nodes (default = 0)
• Z - Z offset for the second models nodes (default = 0)
