Node merging for bodies of two differents parts.

I made the model by parts due to each part has different mechanical properties. I would like to marge the common faces nodes but, unfortunately, MSC Apex can not realise that procedure if the bodies created belong to different parts. How can I solve it? if that is not possible, What is the best method to mesh the geometry and that the common faces nodes being merged?

  • No. For 1D meshes, if they're in the same Part they will automatically be connected. If they are in different Parts you need to specifically create connections: a good option for this is to use Auto Connect Vertices in the Custom Tools menus:

    Creating section properties for your beams is done using the Beams tool:

    Assigning material properties can be done from the Materials tool:
