Initially touching faces (the mesh can be compatible or incompatible)
The program bonds the source and target entities. Bonded entities behave as if they were welded. This option is available for static, nonlinear, frequency, buckling, and thermal studies. The mesh does not have to be compatible. If the mesh is compatible, the program merges coincident nodes along the interface, otherwise it applies constraint equations internally to simulate bonding.
