You can easily be fooled just by looking at the mesh since the mesher will usually place the same mesh sizes on both sides of unconnected geometry if mesh sizes are not explicitly set differently on both sides. You can test by moving a node at the interface and see if the node on the other side of the interface moves with it.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/05-08-2024-1722877556-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also check the geometry for connections by turning on &ldquo;Display &gt; Color &gt; By Connection&rdquo;:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/05-08-2024-1722877621-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can make bodies connected in SpaceClaim using &ldquo;Workbench &gt; Share.&rdquo;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In DesignModeler, select multiple bodies, then right click to &ldquo;Form New Part.&rdquo;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only way I can get an image as you show is with &#8220;Thick Shells and Beams&#8221; on, but your model doesn&#8217;t appear to have thickness.
