Merge nodes in Assembly

[gregorsky]

Hi
I have created independent instanec of few parts and connect them together in CAE. When I want to remove duplicated nodes with Instance-Merge/Cut, program creates new part with orphan mesh and I have to assign sections again and also aftere deleting such a part there are missing some of the features of the assembly.

Is there a different way to merge these nodes without destroying assembly ?

Regards,
Greg

maybe someone knows answer....please

You would have been better to create a single instant rather than merge nodes from two parts. You can always tie surfaces together of different parts so in effect creating a single part though the results at the tied interface can be a little messy. You would at least retain all your section property assignments.

Try the surface to surface tie constraint. The results might be as "messy" as you expect

Surface to surface tie constraints use lot of memory. I have 8 GB memory and am having problems with my model due to surface to surface tie constraints.
