my model is essentially a straight platform with a groove running down the centre of it. i want to apply load all over the surface including the groove. however when i do this and then run the model in Abaqus, the nodes at which the force applied are 'destroyed'..... in the sense that i cant see what is happening beneath these. It is the surface of the groove in which i am specifically interested also.

is there any technique or function in hypermesh/abaqus whereby i can apply the force but still be able to see what is going on?

many thanks
