    Hi BeMa86,

     

    Do you want to apply pressure load radially on a bearing surface? 

     

    You can apply pressure load using equation. Here are the steps:

     

    1) Create a cylindrical system using systems panel.

    2) Assign all nodes to the newly created system and do a set reference

    3) Go to analysis page> Pressure panel

    4) Select the bearing elements

    5) Change the input type to Equation and enter Equation= Cos(y)

    6) Change the orientation to N1, N2 and N3 from Normal and right below it select the cylindrical system

    7) Click Create
