Missing property definition between rigid/deformable tie

Missing property definition between rigid/deformable tie

Missing property definition between rigid/deformable tie

(OP)
Hello forum members,

I am experiencing a litte problem in the following case: I am modelling a cone which gets in contact with an analytical rigid. Due to timestepping reasons, the tip of the cone has to be modelled as deformable rigid, while the rest of the cone is a normal 3D deformable. So I tied the two bodies together, but when I try to execute the job, it aborts saying "20 elements have missing property definitions." These elements are located at the rigid body side of the tie connections. (look attached file)

I already took a look at the ABAQUS manual, but found no explanation. Also manually assigning a inertia/mass to the reference point did not work.

Does someone of you know a solution to this problem?
Many thanks in advance

Kind regards,
xaero4

Hello,

I already solved the problem:
The constraint between reference point and rigid body was not defined properly, so the elements showing "missing property definitions" were not coupled with the reference point.
