Applying Loads to Part of a Surface/spliting a part in ANSYS

Hi,
I am looking to apply loads and constraints on a part, but not over its entire surface; I am looking to simulate holding a pipe as such but clamping it a certain distance from one end (will be applying a force to something sticking out of the other end) I thought if in Pro E I just created a separate surface that I could apply the load to that but I cant select it in Ansys mechanical. I thought also if I created a new coordinate system for this surface but I seem to only be able to create a point; is it possible to split the part in Ansys to apply the frictionless support to only a certain section of the overall part or must I split it in Pro E and bring it in as an assembly? All answers really appreciated! thank you |

sooo yea... !!thought I would reply if anyone has this issue; ended up doing just that; had to split the part in proE and assemble it inorder to apply the constraints to only part of the surface; just gave it a "bonded" contact between the parts that were actually meant to be one part. this could be done in Design modeler but I dont have a licence for that.
