The warning message you're encountering regarding a reinforcement element not being able to evaluate the base material property and the base material removal option (SECC) being ignored is likely due to the use of the command "SECCONTROL,,1". This command is intended to remove the base-element material in the space occupied by the reinforcing fibers. However, it is important to note that this option only works for 1-D stress states. The limitation is documented under the SECCONTROL Command Reference, which states that "REMBASE = 1 typically leads to more accurate models. (The base material must support 1-D stress states.)"
