  1. This is model of Single lap joint. How can I give connection between these bodies as a bonded connection.
  
  2. How can I select middle nodes through out individually.

  Right click on the Solution branch. Insert Beam Results and pick something.
  
  Insert a Beam Tool. Right click on the Beam Tool, Insert something on that list.
  
  Direct stress is stress caused by Axial Forces.
  
  You can plot Shear Force, but you have to calculate Shear Stress by dividing by the cross-sectional area of the beam.
