Now the connector is formed between the two parts.

STEP 6: Go to 1d tab and click connectors.In connectors click on seam tab.Select the type as seam quad

Give line spacing as 5 and with node path option select the node which you wanted to weld and select the two component you need to weld.Give tolerence as 10 and click create.

Now the connector is formed between the two parts.

STEP 7: Go to 1d tab and click connectors.In connectors click on seam tab.Select the type as seam hexa (adhersive)

Give line spacing as 5 and with node path option select the node which you wanted to weld and select the two component you need to weld.Give tolerence as 10 and click create.
