For anyone having a similar question who is trying to create a joint between a rigid body and flexible body meshed with ANCF brick elements. The trick is to "WELD" a rigid body say body "X" with negligible mass and inertia to the ANCF brick body using chrono::fea::ChLinkNodeFrame. And then use body "X" to create rigid body joints.
