    Try defining your force "By Components" instead of "By Vector." It will allow you to specify components of your force, according to the coordinate system of your choice. I'm not sure what you're asking in the second question, but maybe you should use 5 load steps, in "Analysis Settings." You...

I suggest using a distributed force in the radial direction instead of a pressure. In this case, take the force from literature, multiply it by...
