1.The format is the same as the corresponding options /SURF/type/surf_ID.
2.Input format for BOX:

The external faces are built from all solids (the inner faces are not considered).

The segments built from 3-node and 4-node shells are still selected the same way as with /SURF/type/surf_ID and segments from inside of volumic parts (inner segments) will also be excluded.

3.If type is BOX, all segments supported by solids, shells and 3-node shells with all nodes inside the box or on its external surface are selected (segments lying on solid elements are not considered).

If type is BOX2, all segments with at least one node inside the box or on its surface are selected.
