Hi guys

thank you in advance for your time. I really appreciate it.
I have a 2D problem, which I have partitioned it.
I want to create surfaces at the partition edge within the plate, but I think the only way is do it manually in the input file, because it is only 1 part.
When I model my problem as 2 parts, it is ok, but then I have convergence problem.
The challenge:
"" Hint: the input line should be like this:
*Surface, type=ELEMENT, name=surfacename
elsetname, (S1,S2, S3, or S4) ""
The elements at the partition edge have different facing numbers, so I have to check like 1300 elements for the facing numbers.
Does anybody can help me?
