Hello All,
Thanks for your time and help.
Does ABAQUS offers a seamless connection between tetrahedral and hexahedral elements within a single model like ANSYS?

Thanks,

Abaqus has wedge elements for some transitions. Pyramid elements are supported by the solver but not by the GUI (Abaqus/CAE) so they would have to be generated in external mesher.

If incompatible element shapes are assigned for contacting regions, Abaqus shows a warning and creates tie constraints internally.
