Creating edge and/or boundary seelection

I am trying to create an edge selection or boundary selection around a crack tip see attached screenshot of what I mean by (line contour/edge selection drawn in SOLIDWORKS). The reason for this selection is to perform line or surface integral around the selection for SIF estimation.
I have tried importing into COMSOL the SOLIDWORKS drawing that contains the edge selection/contour at crack tip (as shown in screen shot attached) , but COMSOL doesn't see the included contour after the import/live link.
i) I therefore ask how can I create a selection be it edge or surface?
ii) Also how is it possible to define an edge distribution mesh such that the concentration of mesh elements is obtained at both ends and middle of selected edge?
iii)Finally I would also like to know if it is possible to sketch on a plane (plane is created in COMSOL) and for the sketch to be projected (implemented) on another surface that is curved?
Thank you

Dear Isa,
I suggest you look into defining selections under component definitions node -->this gives options ranging from explicit,cylindrical, ball, block etc. This allows you to perform other processing including line surface or even volume integrals.
It is also possible to make such selections from SOLIDWORKS but am not sure I know exactly how.
Good luck
