I would like to know how top create a rigid contact between two surfaces that cannot be joined by mesh (node-node) by having different meshes.

Example on attached picture.

    in OptiStruct it could be FREEZE or TIE contact.

    In HyperMesh, you could use Auto-Contact to create these contacts automatically within a search distance.

    Ctrl+F >> auto-contact

    Thank you for your answer.

    Is there any way I could declare manually the surfaces and the contact?
