Applying pressure load to rigid master node

I am wondering if someone could help me out in applying a pressure load, or suggest a tutorial/user guide that uses pressure load that I can follow. I want this because am trying to simulate an indentation test, and am wondering if it's possible to use a pressure load on the sphere section. For this simulation I am using a rigid shell to simulate the indenter head and and wondering how to apply a pressure load to the master node of the rigid body. Here is an image of my current set-up, which is using imposed velocity at the moment.

    Hi Brandon,

    Pressure load can only be applied on a surface set. And I feel for this load case imposed load is fine.

    For a similar model setup please go through RD-3595: Three Point Bending with HyperMesh tutorial in the Help Menu.
