Create a cylindrical coordinate system and refer to that when defining the boundary condition.
 
thank you for your reply Mustaine3, I tried to do that and the thing i'm not sure is the position of the edges Ur = U1? I mean the numerical and the normal names,

Thank you!!!
 
When you apply the boundary condition you can tell by the direction of the arrows which way you've restrained it.
