Abaqus help

[ArijitME]

I am having following error in additive manufacturing modeling in abaqus. I am getting the following error.
Error in job 2LayersAM: The volume of 256 elements is zero, small, or negative. Check coordinates or node numbering, or modify the mesh seed. In the case of a tetrahedron this error may indicate that all nodes are located very nearly in a plane. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemVolSmallNegZero.
Kindly guide

Do you have any tie constraints ? If yes, disable adjustment for them.

Thank you so much. It works now by unchecking the box for adjust at tie constant dialog box.
I am actually simulation 2 layer additive manufacturing model in Abaqus. For single pass at each layer it works with tie constraint and does not through similar error. But these error occurs when I simulate for 2 layer and at each layer with 2 passes. Can I simulate it with tie constraint?
