Need ABAQUS help!(Traction Separation)

[Bigtree]

The job "Job-1" has been created.
The job input file "Job-1.inp" has been submitted for analysis.
Error in job Job-1: 10 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection.
Error in job Job-1: THE COHESIVE SECTION WITH RESPONSE=TRACTION SEPARATION CAN USE ONLY *ELASTIC, TYPE=TRACTION OR TYPE=COUPLED TRACTION
Job Job-1: Analysis Input File Processor aborted due to errors.

What should I do?

Check your material definition - you need to have a *elastic, type=traction or coupled traction block to use cohesive elements.

Thanks for your help. I am working with ABQUS/CAE.I wonder the cohesive response=Traction_Separation is supported or not. Manual told me that it is required to use keyword editor for this response but how?

ABAQUS/CAE Users Manual - Section 9.9.1 will enlighten you...

Hi, your help is really appreciated.I already read the manual section 9.9.1 several times and still couldn't get it. Where can I get the syntax of ABAQUS/Standard in order to use the Keyword Editor?

Try looking in the ABAQUS Keywords reference aswell.
