    Hi Gopal,

    After selecting coincident picking, select the nodes and you can create the spring. Type 8 is the zero length spring,which is often used to model a joint connection between two parts. Else, translate slightly the nodes and define the spring. Then you can go to distance panel (F4) and make the length to zero.

    Hi George,

    Thank you.

     I was able to do it by first making duplicate node over the original node. and then using coincident node pick.
