I have a problem in ansys mechanical regarding named selection. I have an imported pressure from fluent and the model in mechanical has a predefined named selection in a software outside mechanical, however when I want to select the surface of imported pressure to the named selection it doesn't show predefined named selection.

Have you applied the imported pressure to corner nodes or centroids ? Have a look at the image below.

Dear Ishan The problem is the software I export the model from, creates the named selection as nodal or element, however the imported pressure can be applied on a face named selection, so is there a way to reolve this.

The imported pressure doesn't take nodal named selection but the filter option does. You can select a larger face area using geometry selection and then under the filter option select the nodal named selection. This way the imported pressure would only be applied to the nodal selection. Check the image below. I have scoped the imported pressure to all faces of the cuboid and then selected a subset using filter option scoped to a nodal selection.

Hey, . I have tried this however there is no filter option as shown in the picture, do you have another solution.

Have you import the load using external data( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D8fKjJ17lY)? Looks like you have directly linked fluent solution to static structural. You should ideally get that option if you use external data.

Thanks for your support, I have tried this option but no solution, I will try to split the geometry
