RE: ErrElemMissingSection.

what s/ware ? (i don't recognice "s4r" elements)

maybe you're missing the property definition "card" ?

have you read the manual ?  done one of their examples ??

RE: ErrElemMissingSection.

He's using Abaqus.

Are you able to view your model in the GUI or just the .inp? If you can see your model in the GUI check your section manager and make sure all elements are defined with a proper section. If you are looking only at your .inp, closely examine the *section definition section and make sure all of your *elsets are defined in the *section def.

RE: ErrElemMissingSection.

I know my comment was essentially restating the question, but this error ONLY occurs when your elements do not have a section definition.  

RE: ErrElemMissingSection.

One other thing...
It's a possibility you have unintentional, unused nodes and elements defined in the *nodes and *element sections of your .inp. Be sure you are only creating the intended nodes and elements for your model. Perhaps you forgot to delete a line of nodes/elements when creating your .inp.
