Apply Pressure Load to 2D Area Edge

Apply Pressure Load to 2D Area Edge

Apply Pressure Load to 2D Area Edge

(OP)
I am a new SAP2000 user, and I am trying to apply a pressure (hydrostatic) load to an edge of a 2D area. I have a 2D area object defined representing a dam cross-section. How do I apply loads other than point loads to the edges?

RE: Apply Pressure Load to 2D Area Edge

Draw frames property NONE along the area edge from joint to joint and assign distributed load to NONE propery frames.

Another possibility that I haven't tested would be to assign Area loads as "Uniform to frame" using 1-way load distribution.. this option may work also
