If I have use *equation constraint in Step 1 to control node Set with node set B. Is that possible to remove this constaint in step 2, so that I can fix node set A but allowing node set B to move free?

In general, constraints (e.g., Tie, Equation) cannot be modified from one step to another.

One solution might be to use the subroutine MPC.
