I would like to model the seismic input to 2-floor structure. I am trying to model the wave propagation, and I wanted to apply the non-reflecting boundaries using Perfectly Matched Layers in LSDyna. I have seen some simple examples on the LSDyna tutorial website and have tried to apply the PML to my model. However, the following error appears: 

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131959 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131960 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131961 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131962 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131963 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)
    element 131964 not found in any PML block

*** Error 10678 (KEY+678)


*** Warning 10696 (KEY+696)
    *LOAD_SEISMIC_SSI_POINT at: 0.0000E+00 0.0000E+00 0.0000E+00
    does not lie on segment set id 4

Eventhough I have read these examples"  https://lsdyna.ansys.com/esi/" and applied all steps.
Here is the base of the structure in red and other elastic soil and PML PARTS.
