3D Connexion Version 6.6

*SURFACE

Data lines for COMBINE=UNION:

First line:

1. Listof surfaces.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary. Up to 16 entries are allowed per line.

Data line for COMBINE=INTERSECTION or COMBINE=DIFFERENCE:

First (and only) line:

1. Firstsurface name.

2. Secondsurface name.

For COMBINE=DIFFERENCE the second surfaceis subtracted from the ﬁrst.

Data lines to deﬁne a surface when the CROP parameter is included:

First line:

1. Surface name.

Second line:

1. X-coordinate of the lower box corner.

2. Y-coordinate of the lower box corner.

3. Z-coordinate of the lower box corner.

4. X-coordinate of the opposite box corner.

5. Y-coordinate of the opposite box corner.

6. Z-coordinate of the opposite box corner.

Third line (optional):

1. X-coordinate of the ﬁrst point deﬁning the orientation.

2. Y-coordinate of the ﬁrst point deﬁning the orientation.

3. Z-coordinate of the ﬁrst point deﬁning the orientation.

4. X-coordinate of the second point deﬁning the orientation.

5. Y-coordinate of the second point deﬁning the orientation.

6. Z-coordinate of the second point deﬁning the orientation.

Data lines to deﬁne a surface using elements or element sets when the TYPE=ELEMENT

parameter is used:

First line:

1. Elementset name or element number. In ABAQUS/Explicit a blank data line can be speciﬁed

to automatically generate the exterior(free) faces of every element in the model.
