Pressure dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Type
Type	Specifies how the pressure load is defined:Normal Pressure on 2D elements or 3D Element FacesDefines a pressure load normal to element faces.Normal Pressure on 2D ElementsDefines a pressure load normal to 2D element faces.Note: Do not apply this type of pressure load to 3D elements.ComponentsDefines a pressure load in terms of a global or local coordinate system. For example, if you choose a local Cartesian coordinate system, you can enter pressure magnitude for each of the X, Y, and Z components. On BeamsDefines a pressure load on beam elements in terms of the global coordinate system.On 2D Solid Elements XY, On 2D Solid Elements ZXDefines a pressure load on axisymmetric 2D solids.On 2D Solid Elements (Normal To Edge) XY, On 2D Solid Elements (Normal To Edge) ZXDefines a pressure load on axisymmetric 2D solids or 2D plane stress/strain elements edges.
Name
Name	Sets the name of the load.
Description	Sets the description of the load.
Destination Folder
Load Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.To view a hierarchical list of existing folders, click Folder Manager . To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Model Objects
Group Reference	Lets you apply the pressure load to a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select the geometry or FE entities on which the load will be applied.
Excluded	Lets you remove individual entities from within the selected object.
Magnitude
Appears when Type is set to Normal Pressure on 2D elements or 3D Element Faces or Normal Pressure on 2D Elements.
Pressure	Sets the magnitude of the pressure load.For more information, see Additional magnitude options.
Direction
Appears when Type is set to Components.
CSYS	Sets the coordinate system that the software uses to apply the pressure load. You can select the Global Cyclic Analysis or the Global coordinate system, or you can create one of the following types of local coordinate systems: Cartesian, Cylindrical, Spherical.Note: The Global Cyclic Analysis coordinate system is available only if it is defined in the FEM.
Components
Appears when Type is set to Components, On Beams, On 2D Solid Elements XY, or On 2D Solid Elements ZX.
Magnitude	Specifies the magnitude of the pressure load.
Px, Py, Pz****Pr, Pt, Pz****Pr, Pt, Pp****Radial Pressure, Axial Pressure****Normal Pressure	Sets the pressure magnitude for each component. The available components depend on the coordinate system type.
Specify Field	Appears when Magnitude is set to Field.Lets you select or define a field to define pressure magnitude.
Scale Factors	Appears when Magnitude is set to Field.Sets the scale factor to apply to the field for each component.The available components depend on the coordinate system type.
Card Name	Displays the name of the solver card this object will write to : .CLM SFX SFY SFZ .
