Select
the plates you wish to load, click the right mouse button and then
select "Loads" => "Pressure Loads" from the
popup menu that appears.
OR
Click the 
toolbar button or select "Plate
Pressure Loads - Graphical" from the Loads menu, select the plates
you wish to load, click the right mouse button and then click Ok.
In
the load case form that appears, if you are inputting new loads then
you would probably leave the load cases list field blank and specify
the load cases in the datasheet that follows. If you are editing loads
then you may also wish to leave the load cases list field blank unless
there are a large number of load cases and you want to restrict the
datasheet to just some of them.
You should then choose between showing the loads applied to each selected
plate individually (ie. one line of data for each plate) or applied
as a group to all the selected plates (ie. one line of data for all
the plates). The advantage of the "group" selection is that
you only have to input one line of data in the datasheet to have it
applied to all the selected plates. This can be particularly useful
if you are applying the same load to a number of plates. If you are
inputting a different load on each plate then you should choose the
"individual" selection. Choosing "individual"
can also be useful if you are simply trying to see what loads are
already applied to the plates you have selected.
If you have elected to show the loads applied to each plate individually
then you can also choose between showing all the selected plates or
just the ones that are loaded. If you are inputting new loads then
you would probably choose to show all the selected plates, whereas
if you are editing existing loads or just viewing loads then showing
just the loaded plates may be preferable.
A
datasheet then appears with any existing loads shown. You can add,
edit or delete loads and then click the Ok button to save any changes.
The operation of the datasheet is the same as the non-graphical datasheets
(see also Datasheets).
Refer to "Using
datasheets" for information on how to operate the above datasheet.
