Two nodes coupled deformation

JRPJRP
Is it possible to set coupled deformation for two nodes in Mecway? Let's say that I want two nodes to move in z direction for the same value. But this value is not set, it just depends on the structure deformation and in post processor it will be the same.
I think, that in Ansys, I could do that, but here I can't find it or it is non existent.

    Look at Loads & Constraints ---> New Constraint equation

    Thanks disla, for this heads-up. But this constraint equation is not available when I right click on a node and select Loads & Constraints - it is greyed out. I have to right click on Loads & Constraints in the tree and then I get the option to set it.

    Right. It works that way. Take note of the nodes number first.

    Yes, I did that. I already used it in a buckling analysis. It worked as predicted...
