Sars coupling of areas in Sofiplus

SOFiSTiK SOFiPLUS

Hi
I am using Sofiplus-x 2018 for developing my model, where several structural areas have been defined so that a command LOFT could be used in order to create BRIC elements.
Is there a way to couple two or more areas directly in Sofiplus using SARS reft >sar ? I only saw an example with rhinocerous…
After exporting the surfaces and coming back to SSD where i wanted to add the command for desired surfaces 23 and 25:
+PROG SOFIMSHC
SYST REST
SAR 23
sars reft >sar ref 25
end

this did not work as area 23 has already been defined and exported from sofiplus.

Any recommendations how to couple specific areas if more than two have been defined in Sofiplus? ( i gather that the last defined surface would be taken as the source refence)

Thank you very much!

In teddy/SSD try:

+PROG SOFIMSHC
SYST REST
SAR -23          $ - means alter existing SAR
sars reft >sar ref 25
end

Thanks for the recommendation.
However, this command changed all existing structural areas to 0 and didn’t do the trick…
