This command allows you to apply hydrostatic pressure on a batch of faces of one shape.

Creation stages / Use:

Click the icon or select Analysis > Hydrostatic pressure... from the drop-down menu.

1. Select the faces on which to apply pressure.

2. Select the reference plane (the arrow represents the opposite side of the plane in which liquid is simulated).

3. Indicate the density of the liquid.

4. Indicate the value of the weight.

5. Validate by clicking .

Available Options:

• Weight acceleration:

The weight (or gravity) acceleration (or gravity) has a value of approximately 9.81 m/s² to the surface of the earth. You can also express it in G (Ge). Knowing that 1 G equals one time the weight acceleration.

• Face:

This option is only available for shells and allows to specify the direction of the pressure.

• Upper: the pressure is directed inwards

• Lower: the pressure is directed outwards

It is also possible to double click on the yellow arrow the change the direction.

Modifications / Additional information:

The defined hydrostatic pressure can be found in the entity tree in the detail of the affected analysis.
