Pressure Loads—Generative Design
You can create pressure loads on 3D model surfaces. A positive pressure load always acts opposite to the normal direction of the surface at every location, even if the surface is curved.
To Define a Pressure Load
1. Click Loads > Pressure. The Pressure Load dialog box opens.
2. Specify a name, or use the default name.
3. Select the surfaces to which you want to apply pressure. Your selection appears in the References collector.
4. Enter a real number, arithmetic expression, or parameter name for the value of pressure in the Magnitude field.
5. Select units of pressure from the list or accept the default units.
6. Click OK to create and save the load.
