Calculation of area

I 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?

    Please refer attached screenshot from online help.Tool page: Mass calculation option would help you to get area.

    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
