    Hi Puneet,

    Some further clarity on your problem setup would be helpful for providing the best answer to your question, but I'll add some food for thought...

    • Pressures are not supported in motion, only force
    • If you need to apply a force, use the Actuator feature and specify the type as Force
    • The actuators have different end conditions (ball mount, fixed mount, rotate with part, etc.).  I am attaching an image here that shows an example of the different ways actuators can be treated.
    • In the current release, Inspire supports only force vs. time
    • If you need forces on multiple faces, use multiple actuators

    Again, without seeing/understanding your exact model setup, it is difficult to give you a definitive direction.  But hopefully some of the points above will help.
