SURFACE: Define a surface or region in a model.
This option is used to define surfaces for contact simulations, tie constraints, fasteners, and coupling, as
well as regions for distributed surface loads, acoustic radiation, acoustic impedance, and output of integrated
quantities on a surface. In ABAQUS/Standard it is also used to define surfaces for cavity radiation analysis
and assembly loads. In ABAQUS/Explicit this option can also be used to define boundary regions on adaptive
mesh dom ains.

Required parameter:
NAME
Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the surface.
Required parameter for cavity radiation simulations:
PROPERTY
This parameter applies only to ABAQUS/Standard analyses.
Set this parameter equal to the name of the
