Calculation of area
Altair EmployeeI wanted to apply a load on a surface for which I want to calculate the surface area so that I can apply a pressure load on the surface instead of concentrated load ? Is pressure load applied is evenly distributed on the on surface or it is mesh or node dependent?

Altair Employeesuppose i want to apply a pressure load on the non-uniform surface then how can calculate the area on which load is appiled?
Hi,
enter panel Tools>mass calc>surfaces , select surfaces and calculate their area
Altair Employeepressure in particular direction ?
Any screen shot?
pressure in particular direction ?
By definition, pressure is applied in perpendicular direction of element/surface.
I think he wants to apply pressure like wind load. So the direction may not be perpendicular
Please refer attached screenshot from online help.Tool page: Mass calculation option would help you to get area.
