In NX6 I have an assembly made up of a large number of parts. I want to create a FEM that meshes around the outside off all intersected parts. For example, if a rod sticks out of a hole, I want the mesh to approach the rod and go up the rod in one continuous mesh. I do not want the hidden part of the rod meshed. I could (I think) accomplish this by uniting all the parts in the sketch, but if I do that I will lose the features of the assembly. Additionally, I cannot unite solid bodies and sheet bodies. Any tips?
