Moving midside nodes to quarter points

I am attempting to move the midside nodes to the quarter points to capture the 1/sqrt® singularity for a crack tip model. I have created nodes at the quarter points but cannot figure out how to move the midside nodes from the half point to the quarter point. I have tried using morph selecting the fixed nodes and moving nodes as well as node edit but have not had any luck. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thank you,

-Clay

    At your case, I'll try the function 'scale' over all midside nodes. The factor would be 0.5. See my screenshot.
