Closed lines into surfaces

[Mechanicslearner]

Hello,

I like to form surface from the imported rectangle line geometry in abaqus. I imported rectangle line into abaqus from CAD software and I like to fill these lines with surface and delete the edges. How to do it? because I thought of importing mesh into abaqus but I could not do it unless I have hyper mesh so can anayone tell me how to do it? I tried cover edges from geometry tool option it works only if I choose edge by edge but not as a whole meaning if I have many rectangles within a rectangle I have to choose edge by edge I cannot choose the whole and fill surface.. Is there any way to do it?

You may need a separate software tool for that; here is just one that might be appropriate for your purposes:
