I have a streel structure and the welds need to be merged in share topology in SpaceClaim in order for the elements of both parts to match.
But the contact between beam must no be merged in shared topology so that I can make a contact frictionless in Mechanical.
I can only manage to either separate all bodies so that they all make contacts (but mesh does not match) or merge all bodies so that mesh matches (but no contact surfaces are created and I cannot make the beam-beam contact frictionless).

in DesignModeler it's very easier
Seyed Reza Jafari My problem is not related to merging objects, is to merging and meshing. I want part of my model to be topology shared (elements share nodes) and part with contact.
