  Hi Sharveen,
  
  Did you try subtraction available under Boolean operations? Subtract cylinder body from rectangle to make fillet.

  Did you try the AFILLT command? Keep in mind that the native APDL geometry creation features are not very robust.

  Image above created by commands below. Create a cylindrical ring and subtract a torus from it.
