Definition

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`OPTION1`	ELEMENT (or <blank>) Pressure applied to a given shell element. SET Pressure applied to a given set of shell elements.
`OPTION2`	ID Defined identifier and title.
`Title`	Load title. (Character)
`EID`	Element ID. (Integer)
`ESID`	Element set ID. (Integer)
`fct_ID`	Pressure versus time load curve identifier. (Integer)
`Fscale`_y	Ordinate (pressure) scale factor. Default = 1.0 (Real)	$[Pa]$
