I have two independent bodies with one shared interface. I want to use different meshing size for these two bodies. However, at interface the meshing is not conformal. How could I fix it?

Please use Shared topology in the upstream geometry editor. Depending on which tool you are using you can check either:

Hi Aniket, thanks for the reply.

By using this shared topology, I can get conformal meshing. However, I still need the interface so thermal contact conductance can be implemented. I guess the question is at interface there are two sets of meshing belonging two body 1 and body 2, and the meshing/nodes are identical.

can you please explain your followup question in more details?
