Material Property Warnings

Card-name?? is used outside material block

This warning lets the user know the input file being run contains the material property card Card- name?? outside the material property block and will not include these material properties.

Material id=0 for element: element-number## 
Material id set to 1

When a Patran-generated mesh is used, this warning indicates some elements were not properly assigned a material id. Netfabb Simulation changes these to property id 1 by default.

*PBS2 and *PBSN cannot both be used.
*PBS2 is ignored.

If *PBSN and *PBS2 are both in the input file, the former is followed.

are ignored for *MATID ##
The properties in prm file
example??.prm
will be used instead.

This warning indicates material properties were written for build component material in a part-scale input file. These will not be read, as the material properties for components are now written to and read from the PRM files.

*NMAT must be positive
'Resetting to 100

This warning occurs when a negative value is used in the **NMAT card.

*NMAT is ignored if it is not the
first card in the input file

This warning occurs when *NMAT has been included, but not as the first card in the input file.

*NMTT must be positive
'Resetting to 100

This warning occurs when a negative value is used in the **NMTT card.

*NMTT is ignored if it is not the
first card in the input file

This warning occurs when *NMTT has been included, but not as the first card in the input file.

Number of materials exceeds maximum allowed. Increase number of allowed
materials with *NMAT and rerun.

This error occurs if the user specifies more than 100 materials in an input file. Increase the maximum allowable number of materials using the *NMAT card.
