    I am not able to see the free node from the image.

    You can verify if it is free by using this tool

    in the image as you can see 4 nodes are selected, 
    it is suppose to be 2 nodes if it is connected.
    i have created rigids in current modal and imported B31's from other model 
    B31 is placed in perfect position but equivalence is not working.
    even i check free 1D nodes from the above panel you mentioned. it is displayed as 2 nodes are free
