One thing you can do is to write out the master nodes and read them into a new database. Then compress the node numbering and cdwrite them again. Read them back into the original database. The NUMOFF command will offset the current node numbers and read the duplicate ones in as 1-?. Merge the nodes together and the lowest number will be retained. This will give you what you need without too many headaches.
Good Luck

Thanks to everybody who helped me to get started with substructuring so far! But I have a new problem: My model is very large, I have to import my substructure 32 times. Even though the number of master nodes is small (for one substructure about 100 nodes) the node numbers are in a wider range because of gaps between the master node numbers. So if I import my substructures I have to increase the node numbers by a large offset value (using SETRAN) so that the node numbers exceed 64000 in my main model.
Is there a way to renumber the nodes so that the master nodes are the first nodes from node number 1 to 100, numbered consecutively? I could use a smaller offset value then so that highest node does not exceed 64000.
