I have 2 parts forming t section whose midsurface is extracted which creates gap between the parts,to overcome the same i extended the one surface and projected on other , after meshing nodes gets merged is their any need to define contact between the parts as i want to fix these parts ?

    If nodes are merged at the junction for a single part then no need to define contact for those regions.

    In assembly part might be connected by means of welded ,Bolted joints or Adhesives.You can make use of connectors to connect more than one part.
