I'm trying to program FEMAP using VBA through Excel. Am quite new to it and am having problems applying boundary conditions. I want to constrain a point (of which I know the ID) in all six dof. I am trying to use feBCSets and feBCGeom to do this. The code runs without errors but appears to do nothing. Any sugsestions?

Extra info. I am using geometry based constraints as I don't know the nodal ID of the position I need to constrain, and believe that by using feBCGeom.expanded = true that I can get the geometric constrains to map to the nodes.
