Dear All,

Thank you for your response, Really appreciate your time and help.
This issue has been resolved by activating the following shims on autoshim
panel.

z1, z2,X, XZ,Y, YZ

Previously those shims were not active (default ) by clicking the autoshim
button on the bsms-gui panel.

The solution to the problem is described here on this website.
