Pressure Training Manual
• To apply a pressure:
– Main Menu > Solution > Define Loads > Apply
Structural > Pressure
• Choose where you want to apply the
pressure -- usually on lines for 2-D
models, on areas for 3-D models.
• Pick the desired entities in the graphics
window.
• Then enter the pressure value.
A positive value indicates a
compressive pressure (acting towards
the centroid of the element).
– Or use the SF family of commands: SFL,
SFA, SFE, SF.

• Advantages:
– Faster REPLOT, crisp graphics.
– Smooth, almost photo-realistic displays.
– Prevents stress averaging across material and real
constant boundaries.
• The sum of the reaction forces in each direction must equal the
sum of applied loads in that direction.
