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.
