<p>Hi everyone,<\/p><p> <\/p><p>I am currently working on a project in ANSYS Mechanical and looking for a way to automate the selection of mesh element faces, followed by creating named selections. Specifically, I have a series of repetitive mesh regions, and I would like to avoid manually clicking each element face.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Is there a way to script this process, perhaps by using the coordinates or element numbers to automatically select mesh faces and then apply named selections? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Thank you in advance for your help!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-387326","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-meshing-python-script","topic-tag-automate","topic-tag-automation","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-mesh","topic-tag-meshing","topic-tag-named-selection","topic-tag-named-selection-problem","topic-tag-named-selections","topic-tag-run-script-1","topic-tag-scripts-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
