Hey there,

I'm trying to build up a composite layup in HyperMesh on a relatively simple geometry. I am using Abaqus as my solver.

I'm following these steps:

1. I create my mesh on a 2D surface, using S4 elements. 

2. I create an elastic material (type engineering constants) and set up my material behavior. 

3. I create a property (shell section composite) and assign it to my component (including my mesh)

4. I create plies, assign the material orientantion, the material etc. 

5. I create a Laminate and order my plies. 

If I try to visualize my laminate everything works perfectly fine, lets assume I wanna look at it by properties. I am able to see all the plies visualized 3 dimensional with the fiber directions. 

If I try to go for a datacheck in Abaqus only with this setup i always get the following Error, which I am not able to get rid of by now. 

5550 elements means every of my mesh elements seems not to have any assigned property, even though I can see my plies, when using the visualize by property function. What is the workaround here? If I use the HyperLaminate function I can not see my plies, and it seems like with a single property assigned by HyperLaminate I can not Request Output for every of my plies, or can I?

If needed I am happy to share my input file or the extended data file for further information.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
