Pressure Load¶
In one sentence: Apply a uniform pressure (N/mm² = MPa) perpendicular to selected faces — positive pressure pushes inward.
Overview¶
Workbench: FEM
Menu: FEM → Model → Mechanical Loads → Pressure Load
Applies a uniform pressure perpendicular to selected faces. Pressure is always in the face inward-normal direction. Use a negative value for suction (outward tension).
Common reference values¶
| Situation | Pressure |
|---|---|
| 1 bar water | 0.1 MPa |
| 10 bar hydraulic system | 1.0 MPa |
| 100 psi (typical tire) | 0.69 MPa |
| Atmospheric | 0.1013 MPa |
