Hallo,
I tried to run a file and received an error message saying that the pdm.dll file could not be found. However, the file is located in the folder C:\OpenSees-Solver\OpenSees3.7.0\plugins. Does anyone know what this problem is?

If the installation of the OpenSees-Solvers is correct, and you are running it one of the batch files (opensees.bat, openseesp.bat or openseesmp.bat) OpenSees should find that DLL

Put the DamageTC3D material into a PlateFiber ND material wrapper, and use that in the layered section

that was already done.
Beton material was the TC3D and Beton ext was the plate fiber material.
But it seems that there is a problem with the rebar fiber. I am not sure.

You have to use PlateRebar for shells, not PlaneStressRebars (which is for 2D plane-stress analysis):

Then you will find an error about the compressive fracture energy being too small...
