I'm not certain quite what you mean by multi-file, but if you are using include statements to read in different files which define the same grids then I have used the DPBLKTOL parameter in the Nastran input deck to achieve this. So in the Nastran input deck something like:
NASTRAN DPBLKTOL=0.001
The details for the DPBLKTOL are in the Quick Reference guide as:
