Changing the tolerance cleared up the coincident nodes, not sure what the default tolerance is.
Merge "crackbeamf.msh";
Transfinite Curve {18, 19, 12, 13, 48, 54, 49, 55} = 17 Using Progression 1;
//+
Transfinite Curve {14, 15, 16, 11, 47, 51, 52, 50} = 3 Using Progression 1;
Geometry.Tolerance = 1e-5; // adjust value here for correct merge result
Coherence Mesh;

Hi,
Out of curiosity, how do you detect coincident nodes? By running Elmergrid with the merge command, or some other way?
Thanks, Rich.

This time running ElmerGrid with the merge command. Salome also has a merge command. In the past I have plotted the deformed structure and you can usually see the disjointed parts flying away.

You can use ElmerGrid in windows. You have to open a command window and type in the command. The path depends on where you the program but the command is ElmerGrid.exe if you do a search.
If you have the path set to elmer as described in
https://www.nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/physic ... dElmer.pdf
than you can open a command window, chang to your working directory
type
ElmerGrid
and it will list the options.

Hi,
In the referenced document, GetStartedElmer.pdf, Section 7.1, 'Open a Command Prompt Anywhere' may be helpful for you, as it is Windows specific.
Rich.

Hi,
You can also run Elmergrid from within ElmerGUI, without using a command prompt.
Open ElmerGUI, load your .msh file using 'File -> Open'.
Then 'Mesh -> Configure', under 'Preferred generator' click the button for 'elmergrid'.
Look for the input box near the bottom labeled 'elmergrid' containing the String '-autoclean -relh 1.0'.
Add '-merge 1.e-5' to the above string, and click on 'Apply' to close the window.
To execute the elmergrid command, click on 'Mesh -> Remesh'
If you check 'Model -> Summary', before and after running 'Mesh -> Remesh', you will see the number of nodes decreases after the elmergrid remesh operation.
Give it a try and let us know what you find.
Thanks, Rich.
