Functions in Detail

• Selected Arcs deletes the selected arcs in the network.
• All Arcs deletes all arcs in the network
• Unfixed Arcs deletes all unfixed arcs, i.e., Fixed Arcs are protected from deletion.
• Selected Nodes deletes the selected nodes in your network.

• Virtually Unconnected Nodes
  • This particular deletion function is only available if an Arc Force Analysis was performed, a threshold selected, and the selection validated.
  • With these prerequisites in place, Delete Virtually Unconnected Nodes deletes those nodes that are only connected by arcs below the selected threshold in the Arc Force Analysis.
  • The complete workflow, including the Arc Force Analysis, is shown in the animation below.
• Selected Notes deletes the selected notes on the graph panel.
• All Notes deletes all notes on the graph panel.
