Hello everyone,

I'm working on a storage tanks whose loads are hydrostatic pressure and self-weight at the first Load Step, and a hydrodynamic load at the second Load Step. This hydrodynamic load not only depends on diameter and height of the tank, but also on the location of nodes (X,Y,Z). I used a polar coordinate system and defined the load from a external data file (I'm using around 800 arguments as input for each imported pressure), but now I need to define these loads based on command snippets from workbench in order to parameterize this simulations. Does anyone have any advice?, SFFUN function might work? how may I parameterize using external data? I'd appreciate any feedback from this
