How to Assign CBUSH CID With Coincident GA and GB

The Optistruct manual says that when defining a CBUSH element with coincident GA and GB one must specify a CID. (Optistruct manual, CBUSH page, Comment 5)

I do not see a way of specifying a CID in HM. Editing the element has the fields for X1, X2, X3, but the there is no field 9 for the CID.

How can assigning a CID to a CBUSH be done?

Thank you.

    There must be a way.

    I used a text editor and inserted a CID into field 9 and then read that input file into HM.

    When I edit that card the CID field shows up with the CID I entered.

    Aha! Never mind.

    You go into the Springs panel where you define spring elements and go into the update panel.

    There you can choose the orientation method and related information.

    Problem solved.

    Thank you for the help.

    Writing these helped me think it through.
