From the main menu, select either or .
Abaqus/CAE displays the contact detection dialog box.
Display the Names tabbed page.
In the Name prefix field, enter the prefix that will be used when naming each contact pair and surface (as discussed in Default interaction and constraint parameters).
To prevent the creation of named surfaces, toggle off Name each surface found. This option will not affect the creation of contact pairs.
The Create additional named surfaces containing field allows you to create additional composite surfaces:
-
To create a single named surface composed of all contact pair surfaces acting as a master surface, toggle on All master. Any master surfaces from preexisting contact pairs are also included in the created composite surface.
-
To create a single named surface composed of all contact pair surfaces acting as a slave surface, toggle on All slave. Any slave surfaces from preexisting contact pairs are also included in the created composite surface.
-
To create a single named surface composed of all surfaces involved in contact pair definitions, toggle on All. Any surfaces from preexisting contact pairs are also included in the created composite surface.
