How to automate surface creation in Abaqus ?
I would like to create a surface (on top side of a cube) in Abaqus
I am aware of doing it manually by using the following in GUI :
1) Tools->Surface-> Create
2) Select regions for surface by the angle
This is what I tried and failed :
1. Obtained all the nodes belonging to a face
2. Obtained all the elements connected to the nodes of step 1
3. Created an surface using the elements obtained in step 2 by appending the following lines in the .inp file
