Through Thickness Residual Stress

I am modeling through thickness residual stresses as follows:

*Initial Conditions, Type=Stress, Section Points

Element_group, 1, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 2, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 3, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 4, 50,25, 0

.

.

ABAQUS documentation 6.14:

Data lines for TYPE=STRESS, SECTION POINTS:

First line:

Element number or element set label.
Section point number.
Value of first stress component.
Value of second stress component.
Etc., up to three stress components.
I got this warning:

Initial Condition type "stress" contains unsupported parameter "sectionpoints". The initial condition will be ignored.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Reproduce the issue on a small dummy model and attach the .inp here. I'm quite sure that the problem is easy to find.

Thanks for getting back to this thread.
I have attached the .inp file for your review.
Thanks.

In the attached file is no problem with the initial conditions. But you should remove empty lines and check with the manual how node and element sets are generated correctly.

Thanks for reviewing the .inp file.
I removed empty lines and redefined the element and node sets, but I still got the warning message.

 

[Mustaine3]

Then you've did it wrong. Check that you've added the "generate" parameter when you want to use the generation method for the sets.

 

[shtorabian]

I did added the generate in the set command. Please see the attached file.
Thanks for taking another look at the .inp file.

Read my previous post again and take another look at your tiny input file.
