Add Node to Center of Two Beams
Hi,
There are many bolts in assemebly and they are connected by 2 beam elements (there are two elements between one bolt). I want to add one node to that center of it using Tcl if there is no other element is attached to it.
How can i do that?
Regards,
Sanket

In above image there are 3 bolts out of which two are right and in case of third there is little mismatch. and i have added nodes on center of beams which are properly connected.
i want to do it using script.
Did you check F10>free 1d?
yes... i want to add node for connected beams not for free 1Ds. How can we do it using Tcl script?

You can use the following algorithm:
Find all the beam elements using config number,
In that list find elements having attached element of same config
find the common node between the two beams.
@Livil LyleOk I will try it.
Detach the beam elems
Find free nodes by F10 (get 2 ends)
Reverse nodes selection (get mid nodes)
Hi Sanket,
Please share some images of the use case.
