Re: Pressure load

I believe you are referring to CAE. It doesn't matter if you pick an area
or an element set in CAE as both does the same thing. If you pick an area
then Abaqus creates an internal element set and apply pressure as a
distributed load. I prefer using an element set that's already defined.

BTW tge units of pressure on an area is N/m2.

A distributed load will be converted to equivalent nodal loads by Abaqus.
