      Here is the normal setup that needs to be meshed. It consists of a disc inside a plate with a hole. Both have thickness of 4mm. When I try to mesh the parts the nodes see

      After meshing the nodes are not merged.

      Refined the mesh to achieve more number of elements.

      Even after the refined mesh still unable to achieve the node merging criteria.

      In Workbench, right mouse click on the Geometry tab and Edit in DesignModeler.


      In DesignModeler, you will see two solids listed at the bottom of the outline window on the left.


      Select both solids and right mouse click to Form New Part.  This has enabled Shared Topology.


      Close DesignModeler


      Open the Model or Mesh depending on which analysis system you are using.


      Generate Mesh and you should see shared nodes on the boundary.
