error : "Planar Joint Planar_Joint has base and follower ports that are rigidly connected"

I am trying to connect a planar joint block with world frame as base and robot body as follower but i get this error "Planar Joint Planar_Joint has base and follower ports that are rigidly connected" Cant figure out the solution please help.

Hi Anish, 

I understand that you are seeing the error "Planar Joint Planar_Joint has base and follower ports that are rigidly connected" when you try to simulate your model, which has a planar joint connected to the world frame (as the base) and a robot body (as the follower). 

I have noticed that this error occurs when the robot body is connected to both sides of the planar joint block. As the error states, in this situation, the planar joint's base frame (the world frame) is connected to the joint's follower frame via the robot body. To resolve this error, try disconnecting the robot body from the world frame, and only connect it to the follower frame.

Hi Gillian, Thanks a lot for your contribution. I figured out this just a couple of days back. Problem Solved :-). I applied the same thing as you have suggested. Thanks again.

Hello Dear Gillian Rosen,

I have the similar issue with Simulink. Could you help me to figure out?

I have designed a system called Deployer to push out the satellite on Solidworks. But after I have imported to the Simulink it does not function and gives the following errors:
