When trying to submit my model in Abaqus I get the error as shown above. I am not writing the code myself so am not able to re-order any keywords and am unsure how to fix this issue. I have had it before and fixed it simply by deleting the interaction property and recreating it but would like to avoid doing this as the property has taken some time to create so any more concrete fixes would be great!
I have this same problem. Deleted the interaction property, still didn’t work.
Do you by any chance find out the reason for this error?
Aiyeki Adolor-David I know that you've solved this issue. Could you share you solution here? :)
To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
- Open the input file (.inp) in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Sublime Text.
- Search for the first occurrence of the *step keyword. This defines the beginning of the first step in the analysis and typically contains information such as the step name, time incrementation, and type of analysis.
- Look for any keyword cards that are related to step-dependent input, such as *boundary, *load, *initial conditions, *contact, etc.
- Check that all these cards appear after the first *step keyword. If any of these cards appear before the *step keyword, then move them down below the *step keyword.
- Save the changes to the input file and re-run the simulation.
By ensuring that the keyword cards for step-dependent input appear after the first *step card, you should be able to resolve this error and run your Abaqus simulation successfully.
