Applying Nonuniform Pressure Normal to a Face To apply nonuniform pressure normal to a face: In the Simulation study tree, right-click the External Loads icon and select Pressure . The Pressure PropertyManager appears. Under Type, select Normal to selected face. In the graphics area, click the face that you apply the pressure. Under Pressure Value, do the following: Set Units to the required pressure units. Type the pressure value in the Pressure Value box . Click . Check the Nonuniform Distribution check box. Click inside the Select a Coordinate System box then select a coordinate system from the FeatureManager tree. Select a coordinate system (Cartesian, cylindrical, or spherical), and click Edit Equation to enter the equation that describes the nonuniform distribution. For example: The above settings apply the following pressure in Cartesian coordinates: P(x,y) = 20 ( 1+2*X+3*sqrt (Y)) Click . After you define a pressure with a nonuniform distribution, you can hover over the pressure's arrow symbol to query the value at that location.SOLIDWORKS Simulation lists the pressure values only at the locations where arrow symbols exist. The software creates the appropriate number of arrow symbols based on the geometry where you apply the pressure. The annotation lists the following: Pressure. Pressure value, including the unit for pressure Nonuniform. Equation that defines the nonuniform pressure distribution, including the unit for length x, y, and z. X, Y, and Z coordinates of the selected arrow symbol with respect to the reference coordinate system Intensity. Value of the equation that defines the nonuniform distribution at the selected arrow symbol Max intensity. Maximum value of the equation that defines the nonuniform distribution among all locations of the arrow symbols Absolute. Pressure value * value of the equation at the selected arrow symbol Parent topicDefining Nonuniform Pressure Loads Applying Nonuniform Pressure to a Face in a Certain Direction Modifying a Pressure Load
