We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

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.

Refer: ASEL (ansys.com) | CM (ansys.com)

Thanks
