Hi,

ASEL: Selects a subset of areas. Using this u can select the area by their numbers.

ASEL,S,AREA,,2, #Select a new set with area no. 2

ASEL,A,AREA,,4,9,5 #Additionally select a set, with areas for 4 to 9 at an increment of 5 (i.e., area no. 4 and 9) to the current set

ASEL,A,AREA,11,13, #Additionally select a set, with areas for 11 to 12 at an increment of 1 (i.e., area no.11,12,13) to the current set

.................................. # You can select the remaining areas.

APLOT, # Plots the current area selection set in the graphic window.

Using the CM command you can give a component name (named selection) to the current selection.

Thanks

Deepak
