How to repair connectivity between solid elements and cbeam elements

Hello everyone,

The image of the model that I will use to describe the problem is given below. The model includes solid elements and CBEAM elements.

There was only a line in the imported geometry. I created CBEAM elements using linemesh. Then I defined solid elements using linedrag.

There seems to be no apparent connection problem, and when I check the elements, there is no problem either. However, when I analyze it, I see that the two components are not interconnected. Displacement values are infinitely larger.

How can I overcome this problem? Considering that, geometry consists entirely of line elements.

 

Thanks.

    Check equivalent nodes between solid mesh & beams?

    It is working. Thank you. You saved me a lot of work because I try to add rigid elements after translating nodes near the solid component.

    Solution: Tool > Edges, Mark All, Tolerance = 4, Preview equiv, Equivalence.
