Pressure loads can be applied to the part model to test whether pressures applied after molding will deform the part.
Pressure loads are applied perpendicular (normal) to elements based on their orientation. A positive pressure value applies the pressure normal to (away from) the top (positive) side of the element. A negative pressure load reverses the direction. For pressure loads in other directions, see surface loads .
Pressure loads
A simple example of a pressure load is shown in the following image. The pressure being applied is a negative value, assuming the side of the cantilevered surface shown is the top (positive) side of the elements.
