We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi

Under conditions you can use Element Birth and Death and activate weld when needed. 

Hope this helps - for more info search for Element Birth and Death in the mechanical help manual.

I would suggest to skip contacts and use shared topology (in spaceclaim - search the internet if this is not clear)

All the best

Erik
