Hi,

I have defined a red surface in the purple plate in the HyperMesh.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Later I plan to export the tetramesh and red surface into Abaqus for analysis. A pressure would be loaded on the red surface

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

After exported into Abaqus, there is no more surface component any more.

I am wondering how should I get a defined surface in HyperMesh and use it in Abaqus?

Thank you!

Attached is the file but .txt should be converted back to .hm
