Hi,

I am working in a small start-up company where I am dealing with limited funding. The only license of Abaqus we have is on my boss's computer. I can create an input deck but have almost no way of knowing whether the analytical surfaces I am creating are correct, let alone the surface normals. Does anyone know how to create surfaces and surface normals using Abaqus surface creation commands in an external third party viewer? Paraview or VTK (Virtual Tool Kit) come to mind. Unfortunately VTK and Paraview don't currently have this capability ready to go. Am I going to have to write my own code for this? Thanks for your help.
