Applying Realistic Pressures In Generative Structural Analysis

Hi I've been trying to get an approximate model the deflection due to inflation inside a pressurised tensile fabric strucure (should follow simple thin wall pressure vessel theorys).

Im working with a surface mesh.

Unfortunately i'm not getting a realistic simulation, the pressures applied are getting interpereted as unidirection surface force densitys, ie. the pressure force vector directions on each node do not change direction as the fabric deflects and deforms.

Can anyone help me with this?
Is there a work around.
