Named Selection Manager
The Named Selection Manager (NSM) in Workbench 12.0.1 is very helpful to save and create Named Selections within your CAD system.
Details on what features are supported for your CAD system can be found in the ANSYS Help, under “Mechanical (formerly Simulation) > CAD Systems > Geometry Preferences > Named Selection Manager”.
When the CAD model is saved, the Named Selections created using NSM are saved as well. Hence, flexibility of defining Named Selections, along with storing them in the CAD file, make the use of NSM attractive.
After bringing the model to Workbench Mechanical or Meshing, mesh controls and contact regions, for example, can be defined using Named Selections instead of selecting geometry.
