missing property definitions

[Victorman23]

I'm having this error "2 elements have missing property definitions" When i go to the display manager to view the elements with error none of them are shown. How i can fix this?

Try deleting the previously assigned property to the material and assign it again.
If you are assigning the same property to the whole material then try selecting it by dragging your mouse all over it.
Hope this helps

Here is a wild guess. I have had graphical issues if there are 2 elements with coincident nodes occupying the exact same space. Might be worth checking that this is not the case. It could also explain why there is no property assigned. Hope this helps.

How i Check this Im new using the program so I don't have a good feeling of the program. thanks

You should have an error message in the *.msg file. It should say what elements are involved. Go to the *.inp and find the elements and the element node numbers. Make sure they do not reference the same nodes. Then find the nodes in the *.inp and make sure that they are not in the same location. Hope this helps.

Is there a way to generate the 8msg file because I dont getting it.

 

[MNS747]

you can find .msg files in your Abaqus working directory. By default it is Abaqus\Jobfiles

The problem that im having is that the program do not generate the file.

 

[rstupplebeen]

What files are created?

 

[Victorman23]

all the others except the *msg file

When I find the nodes with the errors assuming they are in the same location how i fix this problem.

Remember I said this was a wild guess. If you find that you have a duplicate element just delete one of them. Is this an orphan mesh?

 

[Victorman23]

No

 

[rstupplebeen]

Then this is probably the wrong path.

Thank you anyways. With these ideas I'm learning to understand the program. So it was helpful in some way.

You won't get a .msg file unless the job has started to run and you have no errors in the input file. Look in the .dat file to see these errors. In Viewer you should be able to see the elements with missing properties. Look in the display manager under elements and there should be a set of those elements.
