Product: Abaqus/CAE
Benefits: You can now create sets and surfaces of objects selected from the viewport during procedures to define attributes. This enhancement improves usability. Previously, these sets and surfaces were only created internally and were not available for selection by set or surface name in subsequent selection operations.
Description: Many procedures to define attributes (interactions, constraints, loads, boundary conditions, predefined fields, and engineering features) allow you to select objects from the viewport to identify the region on which to apply the attribute. An option to create a set or surface that contains the selected objects has been added in the prompt area, and the option is toggled on by default. You can change this behavior by toggling off the option. A default name is provided in the prompt area, but you can enter a new name, as shown in Figure 3–7. These sets and surfaces are available for subsequent selection operations.
Interaction module and Load module: Various procedures: Toggle on Create set or Create surface, and specify name in the prompt area
