I have created a 2D cracked plate mesh in ANSYS APDL and then imported it into the ABAQUS. I want to calculate the J integral in ABAQUS using this mesh. I have followed all the steps as per normal fracture analysis in ABAQUS. But after submitting the job it is showing the error " Triangles, Tetrahedra, and wedges may not be used in a contour integral region. 24 elements are within a contour region."

can anyone provide me the procedure for How to calculate the J integral using orphan mesh in ABAQUS?

The closeup of mesh near the crack tip is given in the attached figure.
