use DISP subroutine to apply external pressure cloud point data?

[roudan]

Hi

I have an external pressure data with a format of x,y, z, P. Can I use disp subroutine to apply these cloud point pressure as BC? The xyz of cloud points are not the same as nodal x, y, z. Thanks

To define spatially varying pressure you could code a DLOAD subroutine (not DISP). But it will be much easier to use mapped field where you can specify the data in the desired point cloud format (X,Y,Z,p).

Thanks FEA Way.Yes currently I am using mapped field. the mapping time is so long, in CAE it will freeze for a long time. That is why I am looking for other approaches.
