Choose Elements on round surface

hypermeshed

Hello,

 

I want to put on pressure load on a wheel rim. The problem is, that the model only has meshed elements and no surfaces. For the pressure, I have to choose the wheel rim surface, but there are too many elements to do it manually. Is there an option to choose all elements on the round surface? I hope I have made the problem clear. 

 

Many greetings

Hi,

 

You can try to organize the elements into a collector and then apply the load on elements present in that collector.

 

To organize the elements: Tool > Organize; Select the elements to be moved and the collector to which it should be moved.

To select elements within a circle, Shift + Single click and release of the mouse displays the entity selection pop-up menu:

 

Inside of circle selects the entities that are inside of a circle window.

When you select elements (Shell) or Solid faces, try methode 'by face'
