Nodal Pressure

If the element is subjected to pressure load, enter the values of the pressure at the nodes. The pressure will be assumed to be applied on the full domain of the element. The entered values will be assumed to be already premultiplied by the element thickness in case of NSD.EQ.2.

1-5   Number of the global axis to indicate the 

pressure direction.


6-15 		 Pressure value at the first local node


16-..		 Pressure values at the rest of the nodes

The direction order depends on NSD, if NSD.EQ.2 then the expected forces are Fx, Fy and Mz, in order of direction. If NSD.EQ.3 then the expected forces are Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, and Mz, in order of direction.
