Hi Sandeep,

Can you check the Abaqus Connector Types in Help Menu where all the connectors available are listed in this. Which connector type did you use?.

Hi Sandeep,

If its possible please try with HW 14.0. I don't think there is any error or bug associated with this in HW 13.0 but I recommend you to try with the latest version.

I'll check regarding the same and will update you.
