Comments
- All surface segments must belong to 2D elements (shell element or a triangular shell element). 1D elements are ignored in /SURF/SUBMODEL. With 3D elements, an additional keyword must be specified: see /SURF/SUBMODEL/EXT and /SURF/SUBMODEL/ALL
- A surface cannot be defined using Madymo surfaces.
- A surface cannot be defined by associating a hyper-ellipsoid and another type of surface.
- If item_ID is negative, the surface normals are inverted.
