title: Abaqus Surface getSequenceFromMask
body: <p>I am writing script in Abaqus, where I crush circle and square with cut circle (like cheese). I need to put Contact between parts so I need Surface.</p>
  
  <p>macro manager generates:</p>
  
  <pre><code>s1 = a.instances['kolo-1'].edges
  side1Edges1 = s1.getSequenceFromMask(mask=('[#1 ]', ), )
  a.Surface(side1Edges=side1Edges1 , name='kolkoSurf')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is: getSequenceFromMask(mask=('[#1 ]', ), )
  How to get this #1? Can I replace it? I searched little and there were some ideas to use: 'find', 'face', 'COORDS' but I cannot manage it. 
  Please help me. I dream to get an simple example how to extract this Surface using X, Y or anyway.</p>
  
  <p>BR,
  Wonman</p>
