      For bodies in a MultiBodyPart (Component) with Shared Topology set to “Share” in SpaceClaim, the mesh will be conformal (connected) between the bodies and Contact is not required. You will need Contact between two different parts that are not shared with Shared Topology and not connected by mesh.
