Yes, the pressure load is only applied in that little section. Thank you for the information about the non-axisymmetric elements. I was unsure how to account for the load with axisymmetric elements, but it makes more sense now.
Hi all
I'm simulating a pressure load on a 2x2 partition at the surface of a quarter-model tensile specimen (screen shot is in the link below).
So far I have been using a structured mesh technique but there are some distorted elements close to the centre of the model due to the way that I...
Have you tried copying your original model to a new model and assigning an initial state predefined field (based upon the output from your original model) in the copied model?
Are you asking how to import velocity output data from one explicit analysis into the initial step of a new explicit analysis? Or have I misunderstood your question?
