Hello ultra11111
firt:
what kind of study you are going to do?..
it is a 3D study: axisimetical? plane stress?... remenber that you boundary conditions depend of the way that you are going to model your study.

also try to do a "free body diagram" to see how are the forces and restriction iteraction..

ok.
