Hi Bashir, I was getting the error because I assigned wrong element type (beam at place of truss) while meshing. When I changed it, error went off. It might work for your case also.

You need to ensure you have assigned material properties to all elements through creating a section

Regarding to the input file syntax, material properties are defined after the section, so what you found is actually the correct positioning of information within the input file. 

You need to ensure that all following steps are carried out:

This kind of error may be 11 inumerous error into your model.

Most of case it is related to section unassigned, mesh with wrong elements assigned, assembly incorrect...

For a more accurate help, you need to describe better your problem! :)

You can use the .odb file generated to view(use Visualization module) which part of the model doesn't have section defintion.

You will find it in the 'Display groups' item in the tree. Check ErrElemMissingSection

I am having the same problem Gaurav. Can you please tell me about ' a solution'. Regards..

Check the element type

It can be more complicated sometimes. in my case I forgot to adjust my elements type correctly and faced same Err. please be patient and double check your model. 

Thanks Hamid and Amir !! I got this error due to wrong element assignment.

Can you please summaries what is the solution.

I am getting the same problem am confused.

Regards and Thanks

Hi Bashir, I was getting the error because I assigned wrong element type (beam at place of truss) while meshing. When I changed it, error went off. It might work for your case also.

you have to be careful which type of section you define in material module>>create section(i.g. solid,shell,beam,truss and etc). and each element that you define here,it must be same element that you choose in mesh module. 

Thanks Pankaj and Mirshad

Thanks

thanks

AS i m new in abaqus,also getting the same problem that 3283582 element have property error of ErrElemMissingSection.Can anybody help me how to resolve this problem as i import a wing geometry.

Thanks

Hi Nitin Kumar, You have to assign section to the elements in the property module by selecting Section-->Create and in the dialog box select the type of the section you want solid, shell or Beam etc.

Then you can assigned the corresponding values by selecting the entire elements in the model or using element sets if you have created one before. I hope this helps.

I have the same problem but with a 3D rigid body which doesn't have a material definition since it is rigid. Then what might cause such problem?

You need to ensure you have assigned material properties to all elements through creating a section

This may be due to wrong element assignment..(eg. you may have assigned beam element in place of truss element for reinforcing bars)

Mohamed Balbaa i am having the same issue, what did u do?

47040 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection.

Analysis Input File Processor exited with an error.

this is the error i am getting can any one, plz help me .

HI

in some issue

if you have rigid body , you must assign rigid body in interaction modules.

Hi.. I think, you have a wrong element assignment, it is depend of the body... I was getting the error because I assigned wrong element type on the mesh step. after, I changed it, error went off. maybe is the same for you...

Go to some of the elements. Particulars of Property and Property do not have a material definition. To resolve the issue, the module (b) the section "Assignment" ("Material Assignment") is to be considered as a physical and material withdrawal.

for reinforcement,

***in Create Part:

Modeling Space: 3D

Type: Deformable

Shape: Wire

Type: Planar

***in Create Section:

Category: Beam

Type: Truss

*** In the Assembly menu: make a set X consisting all of reinforcement that has been defined as truss element.

*** In the Mesh menu: choose Mesh Type>>>Choose the set on the right corner>>>Choose set X>>>Click on Default>>>Double click on Truss.

Hope the problem can be solved.

Hi everyone..

I am thing that this problem always happen in steel reinforcement, because the users define the steel in create section as truss section while assign element type as beam element. To solve this problem choose truss section and truss elements.

What type of element must be used to solve this problem.

In my case I got same error, because I changed the orphan mesh and added additional elements, without putting also these newly created elements in the section assignment. Which means that elements have no material assigned, as already pointed in the previous answers.

Go to some of the elements. Particulars of Property and Property do not have a material definition. To resolve the issue, the module (b) the section "Assignment" ("Material Assignment") is to be considered as a physical and material withdrawal.

… 

you should define the section . this problem to mainly definition

Redo the property application step.

Your problem will solve.

Although I assigned sections according to some sets in my orphan mesh, I take the same error. At the job submitting stage, the elements shown as they have no material assigned. What is the reason of it? Do you have any idea about this?

That is a basic error when we create a truss model. At the step of creating part, we must choose type of element is beam category and truss type to model structure of truss. after that the abaqus automatic aware type of element is beam if you create mesh automatically. to avoid this error, you must define again type of element in the assemble module and replace to truss element before meshing the part. it's ok!

Emre Sengul Please check Mesh > Element type > Element library (here you need to select standard/explicit according to your analysis type) > Family (here select according to your domain of problem eg. continuum shell if you are doing analysis of composites)
