Rebar in axisysmetric model

Hello
I need help in my Abaqus model.
I am trying to incorporate rebar in CAXRP model. I have defined my angular rebar layers as such

Rebar1
Area per bar: .3
Spacing angle: 45
Orentation angle: 0
Position: .1

Rebar1
Area per bar: .3
Spacing angle: 90
Orentation angle: 0
Position: .2

Rebar2
Area per bar: .3
Spacing angle: 90
Orentation angle: 0
Position: .1

Rebar3
Area per bar: .3
Spacing angle: 90
Orentation angle: 0
Position: .2

Rebar4
Area per bar: .3
Spacing angle: 45
Orentation angle: 0
Position: .1

After setting up my boundary conditions I ran a data check on the model. The job was aborted and stated that: 50 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection.

I went to the DAT.file, the report of the analysis and this is what I was stated:
 ***ERROR: 50 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have
           been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection.
 ***NOTE: DUE TO AN INPUT ERROR THE ANALYSIS PRE-PROCESSOR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO
          INTERPRET SOME DATA.  SUBSEQUENT ERRORS MAY BE CAUSED BY THIS OMISSION

 ***WARNING: 50 elements have incorrect property definitions. The elements have
             been identified in element set WarnElemIncorrectProperty.

I am not sure if I am defining the rebar properly or if I should defined the rebar as a seperate element. If I have to define it as a separate element How do I do that and incorporate it inside the model. I hope some one can help me. Thank you
