I need their nodes to remain coincident throughout the simulation.&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I used the Tied Nodes to Solid contact card, but when I run the model check, it shows that no nodes are tied. Could you please help me resolve this issue? Also, do you have any alternative suggestions for defining contact between these two parts under the given conditions?&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Best regards,&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Zohreh&lt;\/div&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-442877","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27814"],"_bbp_topic_id":["442877"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2620:101:f000:7c0::a779"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["442960"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["442960"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-10-03 12:50:56"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["297050","13468"],"_btv_view_count":["213"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_subscription":["13468"]},"test":"zmohammauwaterloo-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/442877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/442877\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
