Pressure Load

[hiwiansys]

Hi All,

I have to apply uniform pressure load on C3D8H element type elements.But ABAQUS is not allowing me to apply pressure load on these elements.
1)Is it because these are elments and not surfaces?also I have mesh and not geometry of model.
2) secondly if I have to apply pressure from inside of these elements ,how do I do so?

I request your help.

Thank you

Anjali

Surface based loads, like pressure, need to be defined on surfaces. Why don't you try it using Abaqus/CAE, then look at the input file syntax that it creates...
