The Define tab allows you to define *SRADIATE card on Abaqus surfaces (*SURFACE).

Note:There is no graphical display in Engineering Solutions for loads created on Abaqus SURFACEs.  Therefore, when you review a load collector in the Step Manager, only loads created on individual entities are highlighted.  For loads defined on SURFACE, the underlying SURFACE elements are highlighted.
