Zero thickness cohesive zone with curvature

Hi everyone:
   I am henry, a graduate student in USA. These days, I am trying to make a zero thickness cohesive zone with curvature. After I define this and get everyting set up, then submit the job, the warning windows pop out and tell me the following error messages:

    How to solve this problem and what is this problem? Could anybody tell me the way to make a zero thickness cohesive zone with curvature?
    Attached is figure where I indicate the location of the cohesive zone.
    Appreciate everyone.
Regards.
Henry.

I recommend you to check the node numbering of the cohesive elements. For 2D discretized models, the node numbering should be counter-clockwise.

Thanks

 Dear henry james 

I am student of MSc Mechanical and started studying cohesive zone in ANSYS attached a picture for your review please.  I think you have done a great job already and if you do not mind kindly give me some example how to model cohesive zone for crack propagation.  I will be very thankful to you.
