Superelements in ANSYS

Superelements in ANSYS

(OP)

Hi,
please help me how to make a model consisting of superelemens, which are copied in a cylindrical coordinate system.
SETRAN works only in Cartesian coordinates. I tried to use the KCNTO options and local coordinate system, but it does not work. What command should I use?

I mean something like this (yellow is superelement) :)

I can not use the cyclic symmetry conditions or other methods - must be superelements.

regards, POTET
