  Hi there, I am trying to create 2 named selections at different points, up a circular shaft (0.3metres up and 1 metre up respectively). I want to create the Named Selections up the circular shaft in order to apply a tangential force at a disk connected to the circular shaft. I want to do this by creating a cross sectional named selection 0.3 metres up the shaft and then applying a remote force there (I won't actually draw or extrude the disk).
  I managed to select some nodes and make a Named Selection but when I try to solve my model it throws up 'error, invalid named selection.'
  I will provide a picture of what I have done so far.

  Hi Vernon,
  Have you tried renaming this Named Selection?
  If this doesn't work I would reccomend to define the Named Selections with a different method like the ones described in the following link: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v232/en/wb_sim/ds_geo_defname.html
