I have imported this geometry from NX and am trying to assign contact properties to some of the surfaces. The issue I am having is that, when I select the areas associated with any volume, then do a \/REPLOT on the areas, everything shows up as A1. I am using the following commands to select these areas:<\/p>\n<p>VSEL,S,VOLU,,1<\/p>\n<p>ASLV,S,ALL<\/p>\n<p>I then go through the menu and select &quot;Plot -&gt; Areas&quot;. I have attached an image below for your reference, showing the GUI and the ALIST associated with my selection. In addition, I have turned area numbering on within plot controls.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/3RQGE4XMD7V9\/capture-jpg.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/3RQGE4XMD7V9\/capture-jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Capture.JPG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-50383","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-areas","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["22630"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["B??\u0014"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["5460"],"_bbp_subscription":["237583"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["50383"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","159882"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["135175"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["135175"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-12-06 02:08:23"]},"test":"ebone2god"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/50383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/50383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
