Issue with uniting two bodies in Adams view

[masterymw]

I had started to create the model of chassis of the motorcycle using 'Construction Geometry marker' for the reference points and then make cylindrical member as shown in the screenshot. I had to unite multiple cylindrical members to form one solid body. So while I was uniting members, the two last members aren't going to unite. It says 'The body created is not-manifold." in the message window. I don't know where I missed.

Is this just for a visual representation, or can ADAMS actually make that flex? Anyway, have a read of this it may point you in the right direction

Other than that, try drawing the last cylinder from the other end, or try ADAMS product support.

Thank you for your valuable suggestion. I had made the entire model from the beginning, fortunately, I didn't encounter this very problem this time.
