Creating Components within ICEM

I've meshed something within ICEM and want to import the mesh into Ansys for the solution. I have no problems writing an Ansys input file but I'm wondering is it possible to define components within ICEM for areas of contact, loadings, etc? To my knowledge ICEM only exports FE data (not solid model data) hence it's much more time consuming to create components within Ansys. I can't find anything in the documentation about creating components. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
