Hello everyone,

I am doing FEM in NX 9.
Advanced simulation,

I want to apply load(pressure) to the inside surface of the hollow tank, but the tank is fully closed(tank model is attacched). Kindly requesting you to please help me to select the inside surface of the tank.

Hello!,
Under METHOD select TANGENT FACES and then select one of the inner solid faces of the tank, see the picture:

You need to activate the SMART SELECTOR METHOD in the NX Toolbar, in the RIBBON OPTIONS button just in the rigth of the toolbar, under SELECTION GROUPS.

Best regards,
Blas.
