You need to click on Joins on the left navigation menu to join the SPH object to Lagrange parts. The SPH particles have to be generated with Edge Packing so they can be placed on the boundary of Lagrange parts. 

On the interface edge of a Lagrange element with SPH particles, you should place two or more SPH particles for a single Lagrange element.

Finally, you can check the box of Joins under Additional Components to plot joins and make sure the Join setup is correct.Â
