I am modelling the rc beam with solid 65 for concrete and link 180 for reinforcement. I am using discrete method for reinforcement. While merging coincident nodes between concrete and reinforcement, I always get Zero nodes are merged. I tried changing the tolerance value as well but nothing worked for me.

You can try using nummrg with proper tolerance to merge coincident nodes in ansys. Otherwise you can try coupling the nodes lying within a tolerance or writing proper constraint equation. Try looking at the following links:
