replacing the node

Hello all,

 

I am creating a beam element connected between two nodal rigid bodies with the line 

*createspotweld $x $y 0 0 0 0 0 ''

 

Where x and y are the independent nodes of 1st and 2nd NRB respectively. When I look into file for generated beam element in the *ELEMENT_BEAM card (LS-Dyna), the 3rd node for the beam element is assigned with a random node id (but same coordinates as first node). Is there any possibility to replace the 3rd node id with the 1st node id?
