Load Step: SFILM: Define Tab

In the Define tab, define *SFILM card on Abaqus surfaces (*SURFACE).

Note:

There is no graphical display in HyperMesh 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.
