nWe can read in multiple CDB files. So you can write a CDB for one of the DB?s. Resume the other, then read in the CDB to combine the two models. nThere is a numbering offset command, NUMOFF, that goes along with the CDWRITE command. This was you can offset the node/element/etc numbering of the CDB so that it does not conflict with the existing FEM in the DB.
