*SURFACE PROPERTY

Define named surface properties for cavity radiation or contact-based wear.

This option is used to define surface properties for cavity radiation analysis or contact-based wear modeling.

In the case of cavity radiation, this option must immediately precede the EMISSIVITY option. For contact based wear, this option must precede the WEAR SURFACE PROPERTIES option.

Required parameters

NAME

Set this parameter equal to a label that will be used to refer to the property name for cross-referencing to the surface definitions for which properties are being defined. For cavity radiation, only element-based surfaces can be used.
