Dear all,
Why it is not possible to apply a gravity load to a 2D axisymmetric problem to conduct a static analysis and determine the stress distribution?
An error pop up when trying to do that saying, “Member not found.”
Thank you for any help you could provide.

I see 2 spr (bug reports) in the solidworks kb (customerportal.solidworks.com), both are marked as inactive meaning not enough people had reported it and no longer on the developers list of things to fix
could mean that this is fixed in a more recent version or the feature was removed, what version and service pack are you using?
could also mean it is file specific.
i'm not sure i'm surprised that it isn't supported since it is a body load and the 2d elements don't really have a volume associated with them. but I haven't specifically tried it myself. and also there are some conditions where this may not be valid.
worst case, build a slice of the model to test.
