Numerical singularity when processing node.

(OP)
Hey!

I am going to learn how to implement a user defined element in Abaqus by the use uf a user subroutine. I start easy by making a planar beam element with 3 degree of freedom in each node. When I have implemented the element in abaqus and when I run the job it gives me following warning:

SOLVER PROBLEM. NUMERICAL SINGULARITY WHEN PROCESSING NODE
PART-1-1.2 D.O.F. 2. THIS NODE HAS NO STIFFNESS IN THE SPECIFIED
DIRECTION AND IS NOT COUPLED WITH THE REST OF THE MODEL.

I have tried to find the mistake but I can not find the problem. I have attached the the .inp file

Kind regards
Daniel
