Node merging for bodies of two differents parts.

kenny.fernando.conto
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?

    in relation to the original question, did you consider uniting the two component solids into a single solid body (Geometry Edit Tools > Boolean > Merge), then partitioning the two joined parts using a separate surface that defines the interface (Geometry Edit Tools > Split Tool > Split using offset face > Offset Distance 0.0 > Split Behaviour = Partition). It's a work around, but you will end up with a continuous mesh, with element faces lying on your intended boundary surface. Cheers. Andrew
