STAAD Problematic : linking DOF nodes

Hi !

I would like to constraint nodes in order to have the same displacement of these nodes along 1 DOF (Tx for example) (without applying imposed displacement because these nodes are not loaded). Master/Slave is not a solution because it creates a rigid rotation. The help says :

"For example, SLAVE FY … connects the two joints such that the Y displacement at the slave will be the sum of Y displacement at the master plus the rigid rotation R sin θ"

I only want the same displacement along a direction; on other softwares (NASTRAN,ANSYS,...), the constraint equations allow to do that.

If someone can have the good idea :-) .

Thanks in advance !

Jacques ARNOLD.
