Hi,

I can't find a way to create unsorted node sets in CAE. It seems to automatically sort the node set numerically. This becomes a problem when using MPCs between two node sets. Any ideas on how to do it within CAE only?

Any suggestions would be great.

There isn't. You'll have to manually order the nodes yourself within the .inp file after it's been created. You might find that the nodes follow a pattern anyway and the only modification to the sequence may be at the end nodes of the line(s).
