problem when using chesive element, seeking help

Submitted by smilehan001 on

Hi, I use the chesive element to simulate the debonding of particle in matrix.

I edit the mesh to make the thickness of chesive element to be zero. When I submit the job,

error comes:

The geometry of 30 elements is too distorted. Check the nodal coordinates or node

numbering on elements identified in element set ErrElemDistorted.

If I don't make the thickness to be zero, it goes well with ABAQUS 6.10.

Can anyone help me?
