ANSYS: melting using element death--how to transfer convection BC from deactivated elements?

I am modelling melting by element death.  I have a cold (melting) rectangle with a hot fluid convecting at the exterior.  I am using a do loop so that time increases at each loop.  I define a "melting" temperature, so that elements are killed off when they achieve a specified temperature.  

The problem I'm having is that I'm getting this error: "Surface loads on line x are not transferred to unselected element y".  I think this means that the convection boundary conditions are not being transferred from the exterior, deactivated/killed elements to the active (not yet melted) ones.  Does anyone know how to deal with this?


Mimics 11.1 released!

Leuven, November 19, 2007. Materialise
launches Mimics 11.1, the new release of the company’s medical imaging and
editing software. This new release builds on the last one, enhancing export to
FEA even more. Overall usability and performance were improved with some very
nice new features. Take a look at our website for more information.

 


Mimics 11 released!

June 14, 2007, Materialise released a new and improved version
of its image processing software Mimics. It will again raise the bar in image
processing and editing based on stacked data such as CT and MRI. Continuous
development and support have resulted in the release of Mimics 11.

Mimics is a powerful, yet easy to use software, that boosts
cutting edge research to an even higher level by creating accurate 3D
structures from scanned images and providing a link to Rapid Prototyping (RP),
Computer Aided Engineering and Design (CAE/CAD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It also allows to perform virtual surgery.
