Dear all,

 

I am modelling a silo structure, that is loaded in horizontal direction. Walls of the silo are made of corrugated steel plates. How can I set pressure, that is not normal to the elements, as some elenents are not vertical - corrugated plates. I though that it would be possible to set is through creation of the cylindrical system, but it doesnt work. 

For fast question thanks!

    You just have to switch from normals to one of the direction options like the vector, in the pressure panel,see attached image
