Is there a way to add a node or connect two members that are crossing each other?
Select the two crossing or nearly crossing members. Then use Process - Segment selection to introduce a node at the intersection point. Be sure to check the box that indicates, "Add intermediate nodes at memebr intersections"
There is a tolerance for this that you can control.
There is a similar option in the automatic meshing under Process - Analysis - Finite Element Model tab.
In cases where you have crossing members that should slip past each other, this option should be turned off.
