How do i know that 'mirror' is ok?

GabrielZumaeta

I did mesh a 1/4 of my solid, then did 2 mirrors, just like shown down there:

Than the 2 mirrors so i can have the whole solid:

I was exporting the file to another software to simulate, Abaqus.
I did a simple test, the program identified that, and i get that warning
"There are 4 unconnected regions in the model."
And then the result of the simulation:

So, that leads me to believe that the mirror tool is not bonding the whole solid, how can i fix that?

you need to equivalence the free nodes at the interface. YOu do indeed have four separate bodies
