Is there a way to set the net name as variable in a schematic?

I am not familiar with any way to set a net name as a variable as it seems that will change the topology (i.e., connectivity) of a netlist.  There may be others who monitor this Forum that might know.

My ultimate goal is:

Sweep a variable from 1~100.

And have a node named : Node<1:100>

And want to use Node<n> in a specific node (variable node) when the sweeping variable is n.

It is not clear to me if the desired net you want to select based on your variable V (where V = [1,100]) is an analog signal or a digital signal. However, if my understanding of your objective is correct, it seems you might be able to use a multiplexer to select the desired net using your variable V as its selector input.  Specifically, with its selector set to a voltage source whose value is proportional to Vn (n = [1,100]), the output of the multiplexer will connect net Vn to the output net of the multiplexer. You might not want to use the range of V = 1 to 100 for the input voltage source as that will present an input voltage of 100V to the simulator - which is a high voltage and might require the high voltage option. Instead, let V range from, say 0.1 to 10 and use a threshold of 0.10 in lieu of 1.0 in the selector logic.

The multiplexer can be realized in verilog-A. You might be able to modify the analog multiplexer code from the ahdlLib (multiplexer) or perhaps a modified version of the verilog-A code in the Forum post at URL:
