Definition

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`pload_ID`	Pressure load block identifier. (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
`unit_ID`	(Optional) Unit identifier. (Integer, maximum 10 digits)
`pload_title`	Pressure load block title. (Character, maximum 100 characters)
`surf_ID`	Surface identifier. (Integer)
`sens_ID`	Sensor identifier. ≠ 0 The pressure load is applied after sensor activation (the time function is shifted in time). (Integer)

Comments

This pressure load can be used only for 3D analysis.
The pressure value is defined with:(1)
$P (r, t) = \sin (α) \cdot F s c a l e_p \cdot T a b l e_I D (\frac{r}{A s c a l e_r}, \frac{t}{A s c a l e_t})$

Where,

$r$

Radius from the cylinder axis.

$t$

Current time.

$α$

Angle between the surface and the cylinder axis.

Figure 1.
The pressure values are not extrapolated beyond the last radius abscissa. The pressure is null outside of the cylinder.
