some problem about "define boudary"
 

I simulate "2D natural convection problem in a concentric cylinder", but how to select the inner and the outwall of the concentric cylinder, need i selet it cell by cell .

You can use tho cell layers at first and the command bfin to define the inner and outer wall, and delete the second layer and some of the boundaries later.

Another option is to create shells for the whole model using "live surf create" and change the cell types of these shell according to the boundaries. Now put one cell type into the cell set, do a cplot and a "zoom off $ repl". Now you can use "bzon 2 all" to assign region 2 to those cells.
