Definition

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`OPTION1`	<blank> Pressure applied to a segment defined by node. SET Pressure applied to segment(s) defined by set.
`OPTION2`	ID Defined identifier and title.
`Title`	Load title. (Character)	Title
`Fct_ID`	Pressure versus time load curve identifier. (Integer)
