Hi,
First of all i am quite new to Ansys and I am trying to model a concrete gravity dam with foundation system in Ansys. Can anyone help me how do i apply uplift pressure between foundation and dam?? Do i need to separate the foundation and dam body before i apply pressure?? When i apply uplift pressure between the dam and foundation, it is showing pressure direction in both ways.

Thanks
