Define a pressure load on beams

The On beams pressure type lets you define a pressure load on beams.

1. Choose Home tab→Loads and Conditions group→Load Type list→Pressure .

2. In the Pressure dialog box, from the type list, select On Beams.

3. In the Model Objects group, click Select Object and select the geometry or FE entity to which the pressure will be applied.

4. (Abaqus only) In the Properties group, select the direction of the pressure load.

5. In the Components group, define the magnitude in one of these ways:Select Expressions to use a constant value or expression to define the magnitude for each of the components.For more information, see Expressions.Select Field to define a pressure magnitude that varies with frequency, time, or temperature. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.For each component (for example, Fx, Fy, Fz), choose a scale factor.Note: In Abaqus, this group is labeled Magnitude.

6. (Optional) In the Distribution group, choose the method for distributing the pressure over the geometry or FE entities:Select Constant to apply the magnitude to each selected item. Select Spatial to use a unitless field to map the pressure to the elements. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

7. Click OK.The load is applied to the model.
