I`m designing the peristaltic pump for my project. I want to know how much normal force would be exerted on the roller when the roller squeezes the tube.

 

To find the force value, i tried simulation and selected the surface of the tube, then Creo just select the all the surfaces of the tube. Could you tell me how to select the half of the cylinder or sphere surface?

You have to split it using either a surface region or volume region.

 

For a surface region it is best if the sketch plane is normal to the cylinder axis.

Then draw one line splitting in half, accept the sketch and then pick the cylindrical faces to split.

Thanks for your reply. But i still have a problem. I split the surface as you said. It is "서피스 분할1" in the model tree. but as you can see in the "References" Creo selects the whole surfaces automatically.
