Error 1000

Hello,

I have to do simulation and optimisation of a Sandwich structure with carbon fibre laminate face sheets and aluminium honeycomb core. In Simulation a 3 point bednding test as well as a shear Test has to be conducted and I have following problems regarding it.

1) Solid-Shell Connection: I  read in one the replies on this  forum that in order to get the connection between solid(core) and shell(laminate plies)it is good to generate faces on solid through Tools->Faces and give the faces a property of PSHELL with a Thickness of .001. I have done the same and wanted to check if the model is correct so applied some random value of force on the uppermost laminate. Unfortunately I m getting an error „Error 1000*** in the input data:incorrect data in the field#3.” Could you please tell me how to remove it, secondly it i have Modelled  it correct.

 

Thanks

 

With Regards
