To Create a Bonded Interface
1. Click Refine Model > Interface. The Interface Definition dialog box opens.
2. Enter a name or accept the default name. Click the color swatch adjacent to Name if you want to change the color of the interface icon and the text displayed for the interface.
3. Select Bonded in the Type list.

◦ Surface-Surface
◦ Component-Component
5. Select two valid geometric entities in the model as references.
6. In the FEM mode, the Merge Coincident Nodes check box is available and selected by default. Clear this check box if you want Creo Simulate to connect matching nodes with rigid link elements.
