How to enter Pressure field in Patran?
How to enter Pressure field in Patran?
(OP)
Hi,
I have a dataset of more than 300 pressure pts in X,Y and Z coord. And I need to input this pressure field on my elements. However, these pressure pts might not coincide with my meshing (node pts or element surface).
I already read thread824-106551: How to enter Pressure field in Patran? , but it isn't complete, since it doesn't explain how to create the pressure field and above all how "create a new field based of the CFD field
and project it on your FE structural model" (step c).
Please help me.
Regards.

RE: How to enter Pressure field in Patran?
I have to apply a variable pressure field which was provided through a CFD software: my problem is that this software can provide only a cloud of points coordinates, and their corresponding pressure values.
Note that CFD model has a large mesh, very different from my one, but on the same surface (more or less....).
Is possible to apply the pressure directly on the surface?
How can I "import" the provided discrete pressure field into Patran?
Thanks
