Coupled Temperature displacement

[vamsi295]

Hi Jorgen and all,

I am performing a coupled temperature displacement analysis for composite layered solid.I keep on recieving a error "Layered material properties cannot be defined for this element type".Does any one have an idea how to get rid of this error.When I am using composite layering tab in Abaqus CAE,it is giving element type as solid.
Actually my analysis is 2D analysis and I want to implement plane strain conditions.I want to use CPE4RT element in abaqus for composite layers.I am attaching the file for figure.
Please give me a suggestion

Thank you,
Vamsi
