better meshing where an I-beam intersects a pipe

[Anonymous]

So I am able to local mesh in simulation (see attached) the wide flange steel section where it attaches to a pipe bend, but i'd like to tighten the mesh on the pipe. how can I do that? So far I can only up the mesh quality on the edges of the I-beam. Can I transfer the contact surface of the beam onto the pipe?

I am  a little surprised that you can land intersecting mesh's nodes on the surface of a FEA mesh at the intersection as shown
