Equations (MPC) - automatic generation

Hello!

 

Do you have experience with using simple equations in your models?

e.g. I want one node of my model following another node in direction 2. all other DOFs between those nodes should be free.

I know how to use equations but my problem is that I have to click node by node to define the equation. When I have many nodes (e.g. more than 1000) it's very annoying to create 1000 equations manually. Is there a way to create many equations by one or at least only a few clicks?

 

Thank you for helping me :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20' />

    and to be honest, I don't have any experience with tcl scripts. Could you tell me how it would look like ?
