Abaqus Fictitious Surfaces for Beams -- Help

Submitted by rdgabbai on

All,

Hello. Looking to create a fictitious surface around an Abaqus model that uses beam elements for the purpose of transferring pressure loads from CFD to the beam. We are restricted to using beam elements; indeed, structure is a very long and thin beam.  

What is the easiest way to do this?

Most grateful for your help.
