Cylindrical Support

(OP)
Hi there, i'm new in ANSYS. I'm trying to export my geometry (a FSAE Pedal) in workbench to Mechanical APDL using a input file with this code

/prep7
upgeom, , , ,file,rst
cdwrite,db,file,cdb

Then i transfer the data to a FE to finally make a Non Linear Analisis in Static Structural. The problem is when i have the new Stactic Structural model i can't place a cylindrical support. I've been reading and the issue is because i need to change the coordinate system from cartensian to cylindrical. What can i do?

Here is an picture of my project
