How to determine node as master in equalDOF?

Post by macropaine »

Hi, Silvia.
In equalDOF command, two nodes connected should be defined as master or slave. My question is how to determine the node from the two as master? i.e. how to select the master node? It seems the master or slave have different effects on the result.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, Silvia. I will try it by altering the master or slave.
