Hello everyone,

I want to create a contact surface in HyperMesh for an ESLM optimiziation with Optistruct.

The contact surface should include solid faces but unfortunately HyperMesh only choses the outer faces of solid elements and not the internal ones. While the ESLM optimization solid elements will be deleted. So some of the internal faces become an outer face. Therefore I also need the internal faces in the contact surface.

The only way I found is to mask a row of elements and then chose the internal faces, which are now viewable. But it´s much work to do it manually. Is there any way to chose all internal solid faces automaticly ?

Thank you !
