125257 elements have missing property definitions,
I don't know how to start or how could I solve the problem, My idea is to simulate the deformation of a plate die and the bolster.
On the plate die there is a presure of 300 MPa and on the bolster there is a constrain oposite to the presure.


Also I have problems doing a partition on a curvarure surface, I mean I want to do the partition on a curved surface but I don't know how to do that!

Abaqus is sooo dificult to me... I always have problems and I am never sure what i'm doing....

Thank you!!!!!

You have to create a Section based on the Material Properties you have defined and assign that Section to the part in the Model Tree.
 
I already did, after that i did a paar of partitions, maybe it is because those partitions?
When you do a partition, it is like a new part??? is the material properties uncouple ??
 
Did you try reassigning the Sections to the parts after you partitioned them? Partitioning allows to assign different sections to the same part... it might have impacted your original Section Assignment.

Regarding the partition... you should post an image of what you are trying to mesh so it is easier to make suggestions.
