You obviously import the new geometry onto the same part as the old geometry (right?), so joints should not be a problem, since these are on the PART and not the GEOMETRY.

For contacts, if you only have a few contacts, import the new geometry, modify each contact and afterwards, delete the old geometry.

If you have many contacts, the easiest would probably be to do this:

Import the new geometry to the same part

Export a cmd-file with the new model setup

Edit the cmd-file, search for the old geometry (full name), and in each contact instance replace with the new geometry name

Import the modified cmd-file and delete the old geometry

Adding to @Henrik Skovbjerg 's very helpful note, you can perhaps make use of Tools > Table Editor to update the contacts in a more automated way.
