Face Attributes: Normal Pressure

Description

Assigns uniform pressure normal to the surfaces of selected faces.

When the geometry is automeshed, plates created on the face will inherit the normal pressure attribute (see Plate Attributes: Face Normal Pressure).

Different pressure can be applied on the -z and +z surfaces. Positive pressure acts inwards onto the surface. Negative pressure acts outwards away from the surface.

Pressure attributes are load case dependent.
