Warning in Interface Material (Warning ID: 96)

Hello,

I have prepared an HM file for RADIOSS containing an 'impactor' (meshed surface with MAT1 and P1_SHELL material and property specs, then created RBODY using those nodes with initial velocity applied to master node) and a lattice unit cell (3D tetramesh, MAT2 PLAS_JOHNS and P14_SOLID, BCs applied to certain nodes to fix in place). I set up a TYPE7 interface using the lattice component as 'grnod_id (S)' and the elements of the impactor for 'surf_id (M)', but am getting the following warning message for all elements of the impactor:

WARNING ID : 96
** WARNING IN INTERFACE MATERIAL (MASTER SEGMENT)
DESCRIPTION :
-- INTERFACE ID : 1
-- INTERFACE TITLE : group1
MATERIAL OF SHELL ID=2
(MASTER SEGMENT ID=1) IS EQUAL TO 0

(output file attached for reference)

Both components have material and properties defined, so I'm confused and just looking for some guidance.

Please let me know if I should be providing any additional information to solve this warning.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi

    In the *.out it only lists the part id 2 'lattice'. it does not show the part related to the impactor.

    Please check if you exported this part, or whether missed to define the cardimage=part to the 'impactor'.

    Regards

    I'm not sure why the 'impactor' didn't have cardimage=part but the 'lattice' did... but changing the cardimage from 'none' to 'part' solved all the errors/warnings.

    Thank you!
