Using XFEM with Implicit Dynamic step in Abaqus

Hi,

I have used XFEM in Abaqus for static analysis. I use traction-separation cohesive behavior with XFEM.

I want to use XFEM in implicit dynamic analysis. I am using Abaqus version 6.12. As far as I know xfem was allowed only with static analysis in earlier Abaqus versions (6.9). I read that the newer versions have implicit dynamic analysis compatiblity with XFEM.
