Associate geometry /hard geometry

When I associate a curve with a surface, I would expect that for the meshing, the mesh would consider the complete line for the meshconnection. But it seems only the outer points are considered for the mesh, see attached picture.
I want to have a connection between 2 surfaces and this should be the way to do this?

  • The Hybrid mesher can be better than Paver in a lot of situations, but one limitation is that it only considers associated points.
     
    A possible workaround could be to create points on the nodes, then associate the points. But this is messy and may not work as expected.
     
    Another alternative might be to split the surface, then use mesh seeding on the new edge to enforce mesh continuity. Using the Tabular option for the mesh seed, you can select existing nodes and create a mesh seed that matches their positions:
