We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Ryan, if the nodes on the shells and solids line up, you can use Mesh Connections to merge coincident nodes so that elements on each side of the boundary will share common nodes. That is similar to what happens when using Shared Topology in DM or SC. However, you must force the mesher to get a matching grid of nodes on coincident faces.  Shared topology automatically creates a shared set of nodes on the coincident faces.
