Hi Jean-Paul and Wolfgang Following your suggestions, I found that the name of surfaces must be prefixed with SS, for example SS1. The SURF- prefix doesn't work. Now my program can apply boundary indicators to the target surfaces. I will write code to read the traction/pressure load and apply them to the right boundary.
Before I close this thread, a simply question on the displacement (or Dirichlet in general) boundary conditions: Abaqus apply them directly to the nodes (more specifically dofs), while in deal.II, the displacement bc must be defined on a surface, because the map from global_dof_index to boundary_values must be constructed with VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values which requires a boundary_id. Does this mean I should define a surface in Abaqus to indicate where I want to apply displacement bc? Thank you very much!
