At the selection of the object to pattern i cant select the surface cause i receive the
feature definition error " select a part design element" as it depicted below.

Does anyone know the solution for the issue..

Change the workbench from Part Design to Generative Shape Design, and try the Circular Pattern command again.

Also try keeping solid operations in a body and geometrical features from GSD (like Fill) in a Geometrical Set. If you grow your model with keeping everything inside one Body you will have a hard time with moving around it.
