Hi,Is there any way that I can select a surface made by the surface coating option in the name selection? I need it because I have to apply an initial stress field on this shell surface, however, it seems I cannot select this surface as a separate body in the name selection. nIf this is not possible, what would be the difference if I make a surface body in the CAD on my solid part and solve this? Is it very different from the surface coating option especially if I use sharedtopology feature to avoid the bonded contact between the shell and solid parts?.Thanksn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-47576","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-shell-elements","topic-tag-structural-mechanics","topic-tag-surface-coating"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
