How do I resolve "Data are not complete" error in Abaqus/CAE?

Hi to everyone. Please, I will like to ask for how to resolve "Data are not complete" error in Abaqus/CAE. I performed a heat transfer (thermal analysis) first and then want to apply the result of that analysis in the structural analysis by using Predefined Field. The correct location of the file was selected. I got the above stated error as shown in the picture attached. I have repeated this over and over again and still had the same error. With this I cannot even complete the model and cannot run the thermal+structural analysis yet. I tried generating x-y data for the thermal analysis so as to maybe use another Distribution option. However, as I have 2568466 nodes (1811061 elements) in the model, that was not successful. I used the same mesh as for the thermal analysis for the structural model except changing the element type from heat transfer (DC3D10) to stress type (C3D10). What is surprising is that I have been doing this successfully up to a month now on similar models without encountering this error. This is my first time seeing this error. I tried searching online for this error but did not seem to even find this at all appearing online.

Thanks to everyone. I have worked from behind to resolve this at least partially to achieve my purpose. I ran the analysis without these predefined fields just for Abaqus to produce the input file (.inp). I then picked this file and defined these PREDEFINED FIELDS manually myself before opening the model through the modified .inp file in Abaqus. Thanks to all.
