No. My apologizes. I directed you to the incorrect section of the MAPDL. I am not recommending that you try submodelling. I am recommeding that you consider using substructuring. See the MAPDL Substructuring Analysis Guide. With substructuring, you "condense" a portion(s) of the model into "superelements". The superelements have a reduced set of DOFs. You have the opton to later "expand" the superelements if you like.
