HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Creates a pressure load on an element.

id: The ID of an element on which to apply the pressure.
face_index: The face index of the solid element. Ignored, if the element is a shell element.
x_comp: The x-component of pressure.
y_comp: The y-component of pressure.
z_comp: The z-component of pressure.
magnitude: The magnitude of the pressure.
curve_id: The ID of a curve defining the magnitude of the load vs time.
x_scale: A scale factor applied to the x-axis (or time axis) of the curve.

To apply a pressure of magnitude 4.0 on the solid element ID 10 face index 2, using the curve with ID 9 to vary the magnitude over time:

*pressuresonelement_curve 10 2 0 0 0 4.0 9 1.0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
