Hi Calc_em, indeed this solved the problem. Thank you so much. Orientation was not defined as I thought and I was misled by the error messages.
What I actually wanted to do with orientation was the following:
*ORIENTATION, NAME=ninety, SYSTEM=RECTANGULAR
1.,0.,0.,0.,1.,0.
*ORIENTATION, NAME=zero, SYSTEM=RECTANGULAR
0.,1.,0.,1.,0.,0.
