When i try to run an analysis, i get an error that the element is missing a property definition, however i am unable to fix it (i think i have set the properties correctly).
the error i get is this:

***WARNING: ONLY A COHESIVE SECTION PROPERTY OPTION MAY BE USED WITH ELEMENT 1
INSTANCE PART-1-1. CHECK THAT NO OTHER PROPERTY REFERS TO THIS
ELEMENT.

***ERROR: ELEMENT 1 INSTANCE PART-1-1 IS MISSING A PROPERTY DEFINITION; CHECK
ELEMENT SET AND ELEMENT DEFINITIONS

(2 solid elements and a cohesive one in between)

i have attached the .cae and .inp file so if anyone can take a look and tell me what's wrong, i would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

To cohesive elements you have to define *COHESIVE SECTION. In your model you have assigned *SOLID SECTION.
