I&#8217;m experienced in Solidworks, so I imported a part from Solidworks using an .IGS file.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>After applying the meshing, <strong>I proceeded to apply the loads, and that&#8217;s where the problems began<\/strong>. I decided to apply a bearing load and two cylindrical supports. To do this, I need to select cylindrical surfaces. These surfaces are present in my imported model.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>However, both ANSYS Mechanical and ANSYS Design Modeler recognize the holes as two half-cylinders instead of cylinders. As a result, in ANSYS Mechanical, I am unable to select these holes as the geometry for the bearing load and cylindrical supports.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>I tried merging two of these half-cylinders in Design Modeler, which visually solved the problem. However, I still couldn&#8217;t select these surfaces for load application.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>Thank you in advance for your help.
