Create node feature: adding to an existing mesh

Hi,

In the edit mesh option, when I'm creating new nodes on an existing mesh, GID creates it using whatever spatial location I give. But, if I create the node on the edges of an existing element (say triangular element) how would add this node to the connectivity of that element? As I'm noticing, even though extra node is created, it does not belong to any element as such.

Thanks

off course the new node don't belong to any element,
the only option you have is to delete the other element and create manually the new elements you want, with the nodes you want.

In general it is not recommended to manually modify the mesh.
