I have IGBT 40n60 and mosfet 20n60 , can I connect both in parallel in left or right Arm of H-Bridge inverter in high frequency pulsed =18khz?

Hello,

What is the full number of the parts?
the 20N60 van be a mosfet and a IGBT, depending on the number:

why ? if they open and close simultaneously ,from source to drain and other from emitter to collector
They do not switch simultaneously, look at datasheets for timing info.

Secondly the MOSFET Rdson is not the same as the IGBT saturation effective R.
To a first order the MOSFET will take Vsatigbt / Rdson, the IGBT the rest until the
IGBT comes out of saturation.. You could do a crude graphical analysis to see
how load sharing occurs, or better yet a spice sim.
