MSC Dytran errors

Hey, recently i created a model of a composite propeller blade using NX software (CAD model, FEM, added material properties and pretty much everything). After that i exported it as a .bdf file to open in MSC Patran. The goal in the Patran was to define boundary conditions such as contact between a projectile and the propeller blade, velocity of the projectile and contact between them. I have been working on project with projectile contact for a while and I am pretty sure that everything i set up in PATRAN is right, however I am getting bunch of errors, whn it comes to solving this experiment in MSC Dytran and honestly I am pretty lost... If someone knows how to fix those problems, let me know. You would be a life saver.

Maybe post this in the FEA simulation forum (you could get more and better answers), or in the respective software forum as the problem is not really related to composites...
I haven't used Dytran so I can't help you, but good luck!!
