Surface Sections

A surface section applies properties to a membrane-like surface region that does not have inherent stiffness. You can apply a surface section to a surface or a region of your model.

You can define a surface for contact simulations, tie constraints, fasteners, and coupling; and you can define a surface section on a region for distributed surface loads, acoustic radiation, acoustic impedance, and output of integrated quantities on a surface.

Surface sections are not allowed with thermal analyses.
