Pressure Load at a Grid Point
Description: Defines a pressure load at a grid point by specifying a vector.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| SID | Load set identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| G | Grid point identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| CID | Coordinate system identification number. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank | 0 |
| P | Load per unit surface area (pressure). | Real | Required |
| N1, N2, N3 | Components of vector measured in coordinate system defined by CID. Used to define the direction (but not the magnitude) of the load intensity. | Real | Required; must have at least one nonzero component |
Remarks:
- This entry can only be used for input to the LOADINTERPOLATE Case Control command.
- The TRSLPRESDATA directive may be used to convert PLOAD2 and PLOAD4 pressures to PLOADG. (See Section 2, Initialization, for more information on TRSLPRESDATA.)
