Hello,

 

I am doing an analysis of a plate where i am applying a force of 20N from top and on the base a pressure of 1MPa. i have extracted 2-d faces(as component) and applying pressure to it.

 

i created a Load collector (Pressure+force with cardimage LOAD) and linked pressure and force to it. Later in loadstep, i linked it to LOAD subcase.

 

is it the correct way of doing this ? if not, then please guide.

 

At the end i am getting following error.

    Hi Palash,

     

    Looks like there are no elements with pressure load. Please cross check and apply pressure on elements.

    Thanks a lot Prakash and Rahul. i made a mistake that i applied pressure on the component as a whole and not on elements. Simulation is running now..
