Hello all,

These are the properties I've assigned to my cohesive material:

*Material, name=COHESIVE
*Damage Initiation, criterion=MAXS
7.5e+07, 3.5e+07, 3.5e+07
*Damage Evolution, type=ENERGY
250000.,
*Elastic, type=TRACTION
2.8e+10, 1.4e+10, 1.4e+10

They're applied to an offset solid mesh with a thickness of .005. However, they don't work. Whenever this material is assigned and a job is run, everything aborts with an error message stating that properties are missing within the cohesive material.

What am I missing?

Please advise.

Sam
 
Did you assign section properties to the geometry? also check with render if you are missing any parts
