[Geoqus] Applying pressure

[Coblentz, David]

I've only used the pressure boundary condition for applying stresses and I've had to add a margin with sides at a particular angle to apply rotated stresses.  Not very convenient, to say the least.   I'm interested to hear if any other users have a been method.

Regards,
David Coblentz

Subject: [Geoqus] Applying pressure

Hi All

I am trying to apply pressure as boundary conditions to simulate the principle stresses in Abaqus
Is it better to use pressure as the load or there is another way of doing it?
Can I assign the load as a pressure in angle?

Kindly if anyone can help I appreciate it
