Can we import multiple .bdf/.fem (solver deck) files at once? 
i tried to import all the files using Include command, using seperate file. but ended up in mixed connection of elements as shown in attachement below

Since there is no control over element & Node number of the importing files. In this case is there any other way to import multiple .bdf files  at once?

i have even attached sample files as well

thanks and Regards

    With the files you sent you cannot import them all at once because the node and element ids are the same in all three files.  Importing them one at a time and letting the model be renumbered works.  So if you bring them in one at a time as includes then save them they could then be brought in together.  Or renumbering 2 of the files so the node and element ids don't overlap would work too.
