Defining Surface Sections

You can apply a surface section to define surface behavior for the entire surface of your model or for individual surface regions.

Support Selection
  1. From the Properties section of the action bar, click Surface Section .
  2. Optional: Enter a descriptive Name.
  3. Select a geometry support.

    You can apply a surface section to a 2D body, 2D mesh, BRep, Group, or publication. You can use geometry from an ordered geometric set.

    For axisymmetric models, you select a cross-section that becomes a surface when the axisymmetric body is rotated. For more information, see About Axisymmetric Simulations.

  4. Specify the Density per unit area for the surface.
  5. Click OK.
