help in piezoelectric modelling in ABAQUS

Hi everyone,
I am new to Abaqus and need help to model a piezoelectric patch on a simple beam. The beam is harmonically excited at one end and correspondingly, i need the voltage response out of the piezo.
I am facing problems in coupling the piezo to the beam - i am repeatedly getting the error
THREE FACTORIZATIONS IN A ROW FAILED. CHECK THE MODEL. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE MODEL CONTAINS THE KINEMATIC COUPLING DEFINITION SET UP IN A WAY THAT A DEGREE OF FREEDOM HAS NEITHER MASS NOR STIFFNESS.
Can somebody help. I can provide the file if needed.
Thanks
