Hi,
I got the following error message when I tried to visualize the deformed shape of my model.

“Material orientation information is not available in the current frame for any elements in the current display group. Please make sure the primary variable is element-based and orientation had been defined in the pertinent solid/shell section.”

I’m writing a my own UMAt and INPUT files (3D analysis). In the INPUT file I wrote the following to define material orientation:
****************************************************************************
*ORIENTATION,NAME=FOLLOW,SYSTEM=RECTANGULAR,DEFINITION=COORDINATES
1.,0.,0.,0.,1.,0.,0.,0.,0.
3,0.
****************************************************************************
Can anyone help me understand what the problem is?
Thanks.
