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 exerts
LoadCase : 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 exerts
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 : Uniform distributed load value in the edge load
EP1, EP2 : Linearly distributed load value in the case of edge Load
Group : Name of Load Group
