I want to define named selections to then apply boundary conditions, although it has been hard since there are too many close faces.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How would you suggest to continue? I started selecting faces with different methods (box, lasso, polygon, etc.) but they are all quite inefficient. I&#8217;ve also tried to merge neighbouring faces, but it&#8217;s still quite tedious.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have ANY suggestions on how to proceed? I would just avoid selecting all the faces one by one.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for you help!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/15-04-2026-1776245581-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-456485","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27789"],"_bbp_topic_id":["456485"],"_bbp_subscription":["23572","199","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["194.29.176.244"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["456616"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["456616"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-04-17 12:40:27"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["23572","199","240"],"_btv_view_count":["150"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"pasquale-posabella-doktpw-edu-pl"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/456485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/456485\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
