My elements disappear?

My elements disappear?

My elements disappear?

(OP)
I am doing multilevel modeling (submodeling), which connect macro model with meso model (rolling process, the inner part of the material is analysed).
The nodes are transferred from macro model to the meso model.
I did macro-level simulation, and I have problem with the latter.

At the beginning of the simulation an error appears:

Quote (The elements contained in element set ErrElemExcessDistortion-Step1 have distorted excessively.

Print-out suppressed for subsequent distorted elements

There are a total of 14 excessively distorted elements

The elements contained in element set ErrElemExcessDistortion-Step1 have distorted excessively.

Abaqus/Explicit Analysis exited with an error - Please see the status file for possible error messages if the file exists.)


The distorted elements are shown below:


Why they dissapeared?

The simulation is 2D temp-disp explicit type. The plane strain analysis is applied.
