    Zero-Thickness Mesh Offset Cohesive Layer

    My most common errors are these two: 44000 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection. The volume of 61600 elements is zero, small, or negative. Check coordinates or node numbering, or modify the mesh seed. In the case of...
