SI Unit Example

pload_ID

Pressure load block identifier

(Integer, maximum 10 digits)

 

unit_ID

Optional unit identifier

(Integer, maximum 10 digits)

 

pload_title

Pressure load block title

(Character, maximum 100 characters)

 

surf_ID

Surface identifier

(Integer)

 

fct_IDT

Time function identifier

(Integer)

 

sens_ID

Sensor identifier

(Integer)

≠ 0: the pressure load is applied after sensor activation (the time function is shifted in time).

1.In 3D analysis, positive pressure acts in direction symbol_n_line = N1 N3, x N2 N4 with N1, N2, N3, and N4 being the nodes of the segment in the surface definition.
2.In 2D analysis, positive pressure acts in direction symbol_n_line normal to N1 and N2, obtained by a rotation in the counterclockwise direction.
3.The actual pressure function value is calculated as following:
