Function
- Enter or modify Pressure Loads to the edges or faces of plate, plane stress, plane strain, axisymmetric or solid elements in a spreadsheet format table.
Call
From the main menu, select [Load] tab > [Type : Static Loads] > [Load Tables] group > [Static Load] > [Pressure Loads]
Input
(Refer to "Pressure Loads")
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data:
Element: Element (number) on which a pressure load applies
Load Case: Load case name associated with the pressure load
CmdType: Pressure load type (automatic entry)
Load Type: Type distinguishes the locations of load application, pressure on plane or edges.
Edge/Face: Face or edge number (s) on which the pressure load applies
Direction: Direction of the pressure load
Vector: (x, y, z) coordinates defining the loading direction vector from the origin for loads applied to solid elements
Projection: Select whether or not the pressure load is to be projected
PU: Magnitude of the uniformly distributed pressure load
P1 ~ P4: Magnitudes of the pressure load at the connection nodes N1~N4 when specifying a linearly varying pressure load
EPU: Uniformly distributed load value in the edge load
EP1, EP2: Lineary distributed load value in the case of edge Load
Group: Name of Load Group
