Quick way of selecting surfaces to add a pressure in static simulation

monika kodikara Sep 4, 2012 5:17 AM

Dear all

I need to add water pressure as 5 bar for the supplied part. There I have to select all the surfaces which get contact with water. When I have several such surfaces, it will take considerable time and sometimes one can miss some surfaces to add. Is there a way of selecting such surfaces at once, it will save my time.

Model is attached herewith with the simulation study. This model is created using SolidWorks Premium 2011 version.Could anyone help me?

Thank you for any kind of help.

Hi Monika: Try right-mouse click on one of the faces and look for menu item "select connected faces". This should provide an option set of icons to select "inner and outer surrounding", "all connected", and some other options. I am running in 2012 version. To see that "select connected faces" choice, and had to select the double-down arrow at the bottom of the menu (after right-clicking on a face). If you don't see that option, there should be a similar one as a choice labeled something like, "select tangency", or "select tangent faces". Hope that helps.

    That is great. "You are DONE", as Sal Khan would say!
