To edit a set or surface:

From the main menu bar, select ToolsSetEditset of your choice or ToolsSurfaceEditsurface of your choice.

Note:  You can also click Edit in the Set Manager or in the Surface Manager after selecting the name of the set or surface of interest.

The set or surface becomes highlighted in the viewport, and ABAQUS/CAE prompts you to reselect the geometry for the set.

In the viewport, reselect entities to include in the set or surface. Use [Shift]+Click and [Ctrl]+Click to change which entities are selected in the viewport.

Tip:  You can limit the types of entities that you can select in the viewport by clicking the selection options tool in the prompt area and then clicking the options of your choice in the dialog box that appears. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Selecting objects within the viewport.”

When you are finished selecting entities, click mouse button 2.

If you are editing a geometry set, you can select only geometry for the set. Similarly, if you are editing a node or element set, you can select only nodes or elements, respectively. If you are editing a set imported from an output database or from an input file that contains both nodes and elements, ABAQUS/CAE prompts you to choose the type of entity that you will be reselecting—nodes or elements. If you reselect the nodes, ABAQUS/CAE retains the original elements in the set and vice versa.

If necessary, specify the side or end of the regions that you want to include in the surface and then click mouse button 2. (For more information, see “Specifying a particular side or end of a region,” Section 48.2.5.)
