Script to move nodes or create 0-length spring?

wvillers
I need to move nodes from connectors to create 0-length springs while still maintaining the CBUSH CS automatically created by APEX from a standard hole-to-hole connector creation. It doesn't look like APEX 2021 is able to move nodes, is there a script somewhere that someone has created?

    The Export Utils tool in the Utilities in Apex 2021 may do what you want - it has an option to modify CBUSHes to zero length:

    The tool modifies the bdf automatically after export, e.g.:
     
    $===Modified Grids cards (if zero length bushes are requested) ============
    GRID     871    022.74808-100.00020.00000    0
    GRID     872    022.74808-100.00020.00000    0
    $===New CORD2R cards=======================================================
    $===New CBUSH cards=======================================================
    CBUSH    775    2   871   872                1
    $===End added cards======================================================
     
    Original GRIDs in the bdf:
    $GRID  871       45.49617-100.  20.
    $GRID  872       0.   -100.  20.
