Import surface definitions
from a previous
Abaqus/Explicit
or
Abaqus/Standard
analysis.
This option is used to import surface definitions that were defined in a
previous
Abaqus/Explicit
or
Abaqus/Standard
analysis. If the
IMPORT SURFACE option is used, it must appear after the
IMPORT or the
INSTANCE option.
If this option is specified after an IMPORT option without the
RENAME parameter and with no data lines, all
surfaces relevant to the analysis are imported. If this option is omitted in an Abaqus/Standard to Abaqus/Standard import analysis and the INSTANCE option is not used, all
surfaces relevant to the analysis are imported.
If this option is specified with the RENAME parameter, it must appear after an
IMPORT option with the RENAME parameter specified. The values of the EOFFSET and NOFFSET parameters of the
IMPORT option apply to the
IMPORT SURFACE option.
If this option is specified without any data lines, all surfaces relevant
to the analysis are imported.
