Be sure that TYPE is set to the correct element type for your gasket. Also, make certain that gasket elements are in fact 2D. Sorry, I don't have any experience with them.

The element type is set to be the correct one, it's 2D either. I don't know what might be the reason for this error. Anyway thanks a lot for the help.

I think I found the solution.The error was because I wasn't following the right meshing procedure. The help is very clear about this.
