Perhaps I should add that for acoustics, Abaqus has semi-infinte elements that do the job, for a 1-D structure you can use impedance conditions and for soils you need to work quite a but more, see the above.
I am trying to simulate a pavement layers, but I could not figure out how could generate the absorbing boundary condition by using acoustic element.... could you please explain me the steps to understand because I am a new user ABAQUS? I appreciate any assistance....
I got an error "Infinite element must share a complete face of one and only one other non-infinite element" ..... could you please assist me to figure out why I got that error??...I appreciate any advice...
