A local orientation system in ABAQUS 6.12
A local orientation system in ABAQUS 6.12
(OP)
Hi,
I have a quarter model which stands for an entire model of a rectangular plate with a centered hole. I used the orthotropic anisotropic material and defined those 11 constants (c, D, b1111, b2222, b.......). I also set two symmetric boundary conditions for left and bottom sides of the model and two negative pressure loads (stretching) applying on the other two sides. However, I got an error which said
"Anisotropic material properties without a local orientation system have been defined for 99 elements. Anisotropic material properties must be defined in a local orientation system. The elements are identified in element set ErrElemAnisotropicMaterial."
What does it mean? I'm wondering if anyone can solve this problem.
Thanks for your help!
