Define a pressure load using radial and axial components

The 2D solid element pressure load types let you define a pressure load by specifying values for the radial and axial component pressures

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

2. In the Pressure dialog box, from the type list, select On 2D Elements ZX or On 2D Solid Elements XY.

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

4. In the Radial Pressure and Axial Pressure boxes, enter the magnitude. For more information, see Using fields and expressions to define boundary conditions.

5. Click OK.
