I have a complex geometry and there is no node connectivity as for transferring lodes I think it is necessary. There are more the 400 instance in it so partition and meshing every is very tedious I have tried both dependent as well as Independent meshing but unable to merge. Is there any method in which it can be merged easily.
Thanks in advance
In the Assembly module you can merge parts, with various forms of control. If you have already meshed your parts, and you've planned it so that the meshes of each part should have nodes on the boundary in the same place, you can use Merge Mesh. Node that are recognised as coincident are highlighted in a different colour. If you don't see all the expected nodes highlighted, you might need to change the tolerance setting.
An alternative approach is to mesh individual parts separately, and then define a tied boundary. Abaqus then calculates the right loads to be transfered to the right nodes - note that if you use this method, you should avoid having the boundary in an area where you might expect to see interesting or critical stress levels.

Good evening everyone!
I have work on a complex model with parts of different geometries. For this reason, I have had many difficulties in making the nodes in the union between the different parts coincide.
My question is whether using Abaqus requires that the nodes match or if the Tie command and the Surface-to-surface can get closer to the nearest nodes without having to force the coincidence of those nodes.
I thank you for your attention.
