Linearly Varying Pressure/Moment

PROPERTY LOAD HYDROSTA [load_name] [loadcase_no] part_name/ALL args

Argument Meaning

load_name FEMGEN load name.

loadcase_no FEMGEN loadcase number.

part_name Geometry containing element faces.

arg1 Pressure at point name1.

arg2 Degree of Freedom Indicator (0-6).

arg3 Point name1.

arg4 Point name2.

arg5 Pressure at point name2.

Notes:

1.

Valid part types are beams, plate edges stiffened by beams, shell faces.

2.

The degree of freedom indicator should be set to 0 for shell faces or 1-6 for beams.

3.

If one of the pressure values (arg1 or arg5) is zero then no pressure value is output above the zero reference point.

4.

For shell faces, if the zero reference point is inside the shell element no pressure value is output for this element.
