Hi Guys,

I am running an analysis to attach two nodes togther. In step 1 I am displacing a node X to a Node Y such that both are in the same position at the end of the step. In the second step i want to tie constrain them such the if I move node Y node X will be attached and follow it.

I have tried tie constraints however these cannot be activated/deactivatied in steps only at teim zero in the analysis. I am looking at connectors and giving the assignment behaviours of tie/link etc however I cannot get this to work. Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

Paul
