Is it possible to combine BCTABL1 entities?

Hello!
I have 2 models: FEM1 and FEM2, Each of them include BCTABL1 cards: 1 and 2.
I make an assembly of FEM1 and FEM2 simply by including them in FEM3.
Is it possible to activate BCTABL1s 1 and 2 in BCONTACT? Is it possible to merge BCTABL1 entities, something like 'ADDBCTABL1'?
Regards,
Adam

    No, this is not possible but you can combine your contacts in BCTABL1 by adding all BCONECT cards.
