I am working on a soil problem in ABAQUS that requires definition of infinite 3D elements (CIN3D8) to define far away regions. I am working using CAE but infinite elements (not acoustic type) are not supported in CAE.

Can somebody advise how to define infinite elements using the Key Word Editor in ABAQUS/CAE? I am using ABAQUS v. 6.9.3 EF1.

Appreciate your time and help
