Connect Nodes/Elements to Areas

[bcats4life]

I have imported volumes into ANSYS and meshed these with tets and bricks. I currently have the ability to select volumes and then subsequently select elements or nodes that are attached to these volumes. I thought that since the volumes are made up of areas, I could select an area and then select elements or nodes that are attached to the area. I have tried this but it appears that the nodes and elements are not "on or attached" to the areas. Is there a way that I can somehow connect the areas to the nodes or elements? If I am being unclear in what I am asking, please let me know.

Thanks
