How we connect solid bodies into one part one body in ansys.

[Jurjen]

Dear ARSH SIDHU,

You can merge solid bodies by opening your geometry in the DesignModeller.
Than creating a boolean and unite/merge bodies by updating.

I hope this helps!

Your question has many answers depending on the specific case. 
Here are a list of methods of connecting solid bodies into one part, one body or the equivalent in a model.

• Unite the solid bodies in DesignModeler or SpaceClaim into one body


• Put the solid bodies in a single component in SpaceClaim and set Shared Topology to Share or Form New Part in DesignModeler


• Mesh the bodies with congruent nodes on the shared faces and use Node Merge to make a single meshed body


• Add bonded contact to the bodies and they will behave like one body


• Add a fixed joint between the bodies and they will behave like one body

If you reply with a specific example, I can recommend a specific method.
