Hello everyone
I am trying to solve a problem with a changing boundary condition using solver 401. The first case - two beams are centered relative to each other (load by displacement), the second case - the load is removed, the beam nodes at the junction are connected by constraint equations.
The trouble is that only first case works. The second case give a mechanism error, I don’t understand why. Please check my model.

Thanks for all
