SUMMARY
To apply pressure on a specific portion of a face in ANSYS 15.0, users must first select the concentric area by hovering over it and clicking on the corresponding rectangle that highlights the internal face. For more precise control, utilizing SPACE CLAIM direct modeler to sketch or divide the surface into smaller regions is recommended. After defining the area, users can modify dimensions using the ruler icon, allowing ANSYS to recognize the boundary for proper meshing. Importing models from CATIA as STEP files may not retain these boundaries, necessitating external modeling tools.
