I want to teach students plain stress & plain strain concepts in practice. Is there any tutorial/guidance on how to best approach it?

If we consider a standard problem of a plate with a circular hole, how to create a surface for a plane stress problem?

UPD: Apologies, I did not mention the software in my original question. We use 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA, not stand-alone Abaqus.
