activate and deactivate the element

Anyone experience in the activate and deactivate element automatically
in ABAQUS. got any suggestion how to do it or example can refer?
Ex: when element 1 exceed the maximum strain, i need to activate the element 1. and
when element 2 less than minimum strain, i need to activate the elements surrounding element 2.
my purpose activate and deactivate the element is to get the equilibrium of the model after some steps.

the attachment above is the example model that what i means.
thank you.
