Hello Estojia,

I had a closer look at this and I think there might have a mistake in the R13 user manual. I ran a model with 2 beams connected with *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION_SPOTWELD with the latest DEV SMP double precision solver and I get the following error message:

 

Also, If I look at the DEV user manual, I can see the following:

Also, the PID1 and PID2 expect a "sheet" which is represented by shell elements.

So, I am not sure beams can be connected with *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION_SPOTWELD. Let me double check with the developer.
