How to select all surfaces outside a complex assembly at once?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello dear scientists, Hope all is well! When I select surfaces for load, I want to know how to select one of the outer surfaces of a complex assembly by clicking once, so that all the outer surfaces can be selected?

Now the best I can do is I can select all the outer surfaces of one part of the assembly, but I can't select the top of the assembly(P.S: My model is very simple).

Best regards. Thanks a lot.

You can work with Selections under Defintions. If you first make an Explicit selection of all domains, and then add a selection of the Adjacent type you get what you want.
