    Hi Aftab,

     

    You can use elements attached to contact surfaces (if you have shell elements) and use Surface from FE to create surface.

     

    Here are the steps:

     

    1) Go to Find Attached panel (shift+f5 is the short cut) and find the attached elements to contact surface and save the same using Save found option in the same panel.

    2) Go to Surface panel in Geom page>> From FE and double click element selector and select Retrieve option from the list

    3) Click Create to create surface.
