Hi, I need to create a glued contact between shell and a solid components to do a modal analysis in NASTRAN (the equivalent would be a Freeze contact in Optistruct).

Can someone help me on how to create these contacts?

    You can use the 'contact browser' in HM and then right click and use auto-contact.

    I believe there is a TIE contact in NASTRAN ...
