*rigidlinkwithset
Create a rigid link element with dependent nodes attached as a node set connected to the element. The attached node set may exist before or may be created from a given mark of dependent nodes while the rigid link element is created.

Description
Create a rigid link element with dependent nodes attached as a node set connected to the element. The attached node set may exist before or may be created from a given mark of dependent nodes while the rigid link element is created.
Inputs
- independent
- The independent node of the element.
- mark
- The ID of the mark containing the dependent nodes if the dependent nodes set is created for the rigid link element;
- dependent_set
- The ID of an existing nodes set being attached to the rigid link; 0 – if the rigid link and an attached nodes set are being created using a mark of dependent nodes.
- dof
- The degrees of freedom for which the element is active (any of the digits 1-6).
Example
To create a rigid link element with independent node 100 and dependent nodes 101, 102, and 103 with nodes having all six degrees of freedom:
*createmark(nodes,2) 101 102 103
*rigidlinkwithset(100,2,0,123456)A new nodes set with an autogenerated name is created for the rigid link element, the dependent nodes 101,102,103 being placed to this nodes set.
To create a rigid link element with independent node 100 and node set 25 attached as a dependent node set, with nodes having all six degrees of freedom:
*rigidlinkwithset(100,0,25,123456)The *createmark() command is required to create a rigid link element with an attached independent node set.
Errors
None.
