Hello Anupama,
Considering the scope and extent of the geometry, as you've mentioned the "pattern" feature would be difficult to implement, 
But, you can rely on the "Object Generator" feature if you want to define a connection or a boundary condition, etc. and directly replace the object with a boundary condition. It is quite a robust feature helping in the automation of several tasks, thus increasing productivity and efficiency. 
Please check the following links for more information on the object generator feature-

If you're looking for a solution from a designing point, Ansys Discovery has a great feature to automate tasks, it involves a bit of coding using IronPython, but that too can be avoided to an extent if you use the "Record" feature and perform the operations.
Please check the following course which explains in detail the processes and the features which Discovery offers for automation or via scripting -

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Sahil
