Errors met while modelling for VCCT

Errors met while modelling for VCCT

Errors met while modelling for VCCT

(OP)
Hi all,

I have been picking up the skills in modelling using VCCT. However, I have been stuck with the following errors:
- ***ERROR: in keyword *ELASTIC, file "VCCT-Coupon-1.inp", line 1222: OdbError: Tabular data for at least one option or suboption has either blank or zero valued row(s).
-  ***ERROR: MATERIAL OPTIONS USING DISTRIBUTIONS CAN ONLY HAVE A SINGLE DATA LINE.
- ***ERROR: ELEMENT 1 HAS NO ELASTIC PROPERTY REFERENCE
(This goes on for all shell elements)

I do believe they are related. I am not sure how to express this any further. Any tips? Perhaps someone is willing to step out and provide some assistance.

Thank you,
Ethan

RE: Errors met while modelling for VCCT

You need to check that for your cohesive interface the Elastic option s not set to "Isotropic " but set to "Traction" this will enable failure due to traction separation laws... also any cohesive elements need a cohesive section assigned to them.

I hope this helps
