- Second surface in the mark, if given.
- markmask
- Marked nodes.
- tol
- Search tolerance to identify surfaces.
- createplot
- Creates a plot.

Examples
To create spotweld (spring elements) between surfaces 1 and 2, using the option individual
surface and within a tolerance of 0.01 at the nodes. Elements are created with the
coordinate system and property collector
name_prop.
