I have created a rectangular model in ABAQUS, and I am trying to create Oblique sections within the model so that I can assign different material properties to each section in order to create anisotropy.
But, when I am done with the sketching part and trying to proceed further, the error pops up saying, "section must be closed for this type of feature".
I have just created oblique lines at 30degrees angle through the oblique tool in the rightside toolbar, this error appears only when there lies any open edges highlighting the vertices which are open, but I am unable to understand how are the edges open If the rectangular model is already closed.
Pls help!
