Summary of Pressure Load

Load Type Loaded Geometric Entities Reference Geometry Entity Required Input
Normal Pressure Uniform Faces of solids and shells, and edges of shells N/A Unit and value of the pressure.
Nonuniform Faces of solids and shells, and edges of shells Coordinate system to define distribution Unit and value of the pressure and polynomial coefficients to define distribution.
Directional Pressure Uniform Faces of solids and shells, and edges of shells Face, edge, or plane Unit and pressure values in the desired direction.
Nonuniform Faces of solids and shells, and edges of shells Face, edge, or plane for direction, and coordinate system for distribution Unit and value of the pressure and polynomial coefficients to define distribution.
