A fixed point is a zero-dimensional geometry entity that is associated with a surface.

Its color is determined by the surface to which it is associated.

It is displayed as a small "o".  The automesher places an FE node at each fixed point on the surface being meshed.  A fixed point that is placed at the junction of three or more non-suppressed edges is called a vertex or vertex point.  Such vertices cannot be suppressed (removed).
