boundary condition for local model

[rahulbarve]

dear engineers,
i have carried out structural analysis for global model using ANSYS 11. now i have identified certain important local zones where i want to do a fine mesh analysis.

1) how do i apply boundary conditions from earlier results to these zones if i make a new model.

2) is there a facility where i can bring out these zones in the model, refine the mesh and ANSYS will by itself apply boundary conditions ?

thanks
Rahul

Take a look at the Submodeling chapter of the Advanced Analysis Techniques Guide.
