Reply To: Regadring Share topology and other type of contacts/connections

[Armin]

For the bonded contact, the Mechanical solver searches for the nodes within a "pinball region" and then no penetration, no separation, and no sliding is allowed between those faces or edges. If you need the nodes of the two surfaces to merge at the interface, you can use shared topology. Check if the following document is helpful to you:
