Join surfaces / Delete common edge

(OP)
Hi everybody,
I'm currently having a problem with a part that has been designed with Rhyno. The part consists of a solid made with many complex surfaces that are tangent to each other.

I will a have to do a finite element analysis on this part and I know that all the edges of the faces create a boundary for the elements. Because there are so many of these little faces, the meshing will have serious discontinuities.

Does anyone know a way in PROE to join tangent surfaces so that the common edge disappears?

Thank you, your help is very appreciated

Simon
