Description
Creates a pressure load on a mark of elements, surfaces, components or sets, potentially with its magnitude defined by a curve.
Inputs
- entity_type
- Type of entity the load is applied on. (e.g. surfs or elems).
- mark_id
- The ID of the mark of entities on which to apply the pressure.
- facenodes
- The ID of the mark containing nodes that lie on the face of one or more elements (solids only).
- 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.
- breakangle
- The break angle of a solid face.
- onface
- A logical which determines whether pressures are being applied to faces:
- xlocation, ylocation, zlocation
- For loads on components or sets, you may wish to supply a display location for where HyperMesh should draw the graphical image for the load. If these three values are 999999, or more than one entity is selected, HyperMesh will generate a display location from the contents of the components or sets.
- curve_id
- The ID of a curve defining the magnitude of the load versus time.
- x_scale
- A scale factor applied to the x-axis (or time axis) of the curve.
