Hi All , 

I am intrested in knowing on how to apply structural loads or any physics loads on parametrically generated bodies, to simplify, consider a series of pin fins on an solid block with some heat source, the number of body instances is an parameter (by rows) now the question is how to add  standared convective heat transfer coefficient to all parametrically generated bodies. Any suggestion is highly regarded

ramgopisetti, As far as I know, student products do not support CAD connections, for parametric updates. 

But if you are using DesignModeler, you can create a Named selection for the first face, and keep the propagate named selection option On. Which should automatically update the named selection. In Mechanical you can base your BCs based on this named selection.

You can also create this named selection based on a worksheet in Mechanical, based on many criteria. Please check:

Hi Ankit, i did tried the method you specified but the named selection is not scoping the third face generated through the parameter 

[ramgopisetti]

i found the answer, we need to create named selection by size then apply BC to named selection , thank you

so basically you have used https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/Secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v195/wb_sim/ds_NS_Criteria.html as mentioned in my first answer. with size filter.
