If mesh sizes are same, 2 node lists should be same

Hi,

Try this,

 

Go to 1D>> COnnectors>> Spot. Change the weld type to Rigid, select the nodes, components to connect and click create.

thank you for your help but i didn't solve this problem i need to link nodes from 1 to 6 with node from 8 to 13 that are in the same middle surface but they are two different components.

Okay. Let me check if there is a way to do this.

If it is only those nodes you can use rigid, select the nodes and create the RBE2
