Nodes connecting in an assembly FEA

I have an old timer screaming the odds at me.

When creating a mesh of an assembly, the nodes of the different parts do not "connect". With Ansys and FEMap you can "play" with the mesh to get everything to connect.

Is this also possible with SW Premium (std simulation)?

Did read about combining things into a single part, but all flexibility then goes out the window.
