Nodal creation and nodal ties

Hi,

I may have missed how to do this, but it would be useful to be able to manually create notes and add RBE2 and RBE3 type ties to give fine control over how loads are applied to the model.

RBEs correspond to coupling constraints in CalculiX (RBE 2 = kinematic coupling, RBE3 = distributing coupling). They were requested in the past, e.g., here: RBE3 integration in PrepoMax (Kinematic & Distributing Coupling)

For now, you could use a rigid body constraint to apply loads/BCs to a face. This would be equivalent to RBE2.

Coupling constraints currently require keyword edits. But you have to be aware of their significant limitations in CalculiX: Different coupling constraints and their limitations - CalculiX (official versions are on www.calculix.de, the official GitHub repository is at https://github.com/Dhondtguido/CalculiX).
