Plate Attributes: Edge Global Pressure
Description
Assigns uniform global pressure to selected edges of plate elements using three orthogonal components and a coordinate system.
The magnitude of the resultant force is equal to pressure × edge length × membrane (or equivalent) thickness.
In geometric nonlinear analysis, the direction of the pressure does not change as the plate deflects and deforms.
Pressure attributes are load case dependent.

Global Pressure X / Y / Z
Three components of pressure.
Coordinate System
The coordinate system (UCS) in which the pressure components are defined.
The UCS is used only to define the global Cartesian components of the pressure. Subsequent changes to the UCS do not affect the direction or magnitude of the force.
