Is it possible to include a pch file as multiple superelements in a residual run?

Dear all,

I want to include a simple superelement, which is a reduction to one node, i.e. a 6x6 stiffness matrix, in a further analysis. I did not find a way to include multiple superelements (of same type) and assign it to different nodes with different orientation (like a CBUSH). If there is an alternative way to include a 6x6 stiffness matrix as boundary conditions that would work as well. Can anyone help me? 

I attached the simple exported pch file which I want to include in another analysis on three nodes. 

 

Thank you.

 

Best,

Jintin
