Apply fixed constraint to outer boundary from LiveLink

Hi all,
I was to do the following sequence using LiveLink 1. Run Topology optimization for a certain parameter settings 2. Generate Mesh Component and load it into a new model 3. Set boundary conditions in the new model (outer boundaries are always fixed) 4. Carry out frequency analysis using the optimized mesh
Right now I am able to do all steps, with the exception of step 3 : applying fixed boundary conditions to my (plate) structure. In each optimized layout, the boundaries conditions are the same (outer boundaries do not change with the optimization. However, when loading the (filtered + imported) optimized mesh into a new component, I have to manually apply the boundary conditions every time.
Is there a way to automatically select the outer boundaries and apply a fixed constraint? Or do I need to change my model setup in some way to make this possible or easier?
