    hi Guilherme,

     

    what solver are you using?

    In general, you could do that 2 ways:

    - make sure your geometries are connected, thus your mesh will be created connected

    - using tied contacts, defining a bonding between the different parts

     

    for case #1, you might need this, under solid edit panel.

    Olá Adriano,

    Você poderia mostrar como faço tied contacts para um sólido? Eu só consigo definir conexões quando estou trabalhando com malha 2D e preciso conseguir fazer isso para malha 3D também

    Obrigado

    Hi Guilherme,

     

    please take a look at this nice video, that shows, among other things, how to create contacts for solids using auto-contact tool in contact browser:

    In your case, you can should contact type as TIE or as FREEZE.
