      How do you simulate two plates being connected with nail ? I don't know if I can just treat it as two plates with holes and there are short "sticks" (for nails) connecting those holes

      You can use a Fixed Joint to connect adjacent holes in two plates. This is one of many possible ways of connecting two plates with a hole in each.
