Right-click the DOF set to which you want to add nodes and choose Edit.
In the graphics window, select the new nodes to add to the DOF set.
In the Edit DOFSet dialog box, select the check box for each degree of freedom to specify as active for the new nodes.In the Listing group, active DOFs are marked with (green check mark). Inactive degrees of freedom are marked with (red X).
