Orthotropic Materials..."Error Message"
(OP)
I have typed in all the elastic stiffness parameters for Orthotropic material. I submitted my job for analysis and an error occur saying that:
Anisotropic material properties without local oreintation system have been defined for 2460 elements. Anisotripic material properties must be defined in a local orientation system. The elements are identified in element set ErrElemAnisotropicMaterial.
Can anyone give any insight into this problem
Thanks

RE: Orthotropic Materials..."Error Message"
You can define/assign an orientation system to the material in "Property" section of ABAQUS/CAE, or, by using ORIENTATION keyword, if you write the input file by yourself.
For details and usage see:
ABAQUS/CAE User's Manual:
16.9.3 Assigning a material orientation
and:
ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual
2.2.5 Orientations
