I am stuck for days in a problem that is importing final state of Abaqus/explicit analysis containing infinite elements at the boundary to work as non reflecting boundary in the simulation of laser shock peening to abaqus/standard to do static analysis for relaxation phase of the laser shock peening process.

many research paper claimed that they have done it. The links of those research papers are as follows

Article Effects of simulation parameters on residual stresses for la...

and

Article Finite element simulation of laser shock peening

but according to ABAQUS manual that it is not possible to import the infinite element (CINAX4). for standard static analysis i removed the load and imported the results from explicit dynamic analysis to predefined fields as a initial state, but then i am getting following error message-

ELEMENT SET ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1__PICKEDSET8 CONTAINS ELEMENTS OF TYPE CINAX4 WHICH IS CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE FOR IMPORT FROM Abaqus/Explicit to Abaqus/Standard THE ELEMENTS AVAILABLE FOR IMPORT ARE LISTED IN THE USER'S MANUAL

I confused and exhausted how they did it?

I am just trying to re simulate there work according to there research papers.

Please help, its ugrent.

Thank you
