Select the shell you want to load, and the go to: Assing/Joint pattern/ Select the Joint pattern name and specify the function you want for the load (in global axes). Then go to: Assing/Area loads/Surface Pressure/Click on "by joint pattern" Select the joint pattern you used before, and the multiplier. Best regards, Sebastian Upvote 0 Downvote
