To import a surface to ANSYS in the Design Modeler, you will first need to create just the surface using a CAD program, such as Solidworks.
Method I

- Choose the type of surface you would like to create (extruded, revolved etc.)
- Create your desired surface
- Save the surface as a .STP file

After you have created the geometry in Solidworks and saved it:
...
Now your Geometry in Design Modeler will reflect the changes you made in Solidworks.
Method III
In Solidworks you can connect the geometry to Workbench:
