Errors met while modelling for VCCT

[flyzz]

Hi all,

I have been picking up the skills in modelling using VCCT. However, I have been stuck with the following errors:
- ***ERROR: in keyword *ELASTIC, file "VCCT-Coupon-1.inp", line 1222: OdbError: Tabular data for at least one option or suboption has either blank or zero valued row(s).
- ***ERROR: MATERIAL OPTIONS USING DISTRIBUTIONS CAN ONLY HAVE A SINGLE DATA LINE.
- ***ERROR: ELEMENT 1 HAS NO ELASTIC PROPERTY REFERENCE
(This goes on for all shell elements)

I do believe they are related. I am not sure how to express this any further. Any tips? Perhaps someone is willing to step out and provide some assistance.

Thank you,
Ethan

You need to check that for your cohesive interface the Elastic option s not set to "Isotropic " but set to "Traction" this will enable failure due to traction separation laws... also any cohesive elements need a cohesive section assigned to them.

I hope this helps
