Right now there is a pressure load in the stress analysis. This works great for preassure vessles, but not that well for liquid containers like tanks. It would be really nice if a pressure function load like hydrostatic pressure could be used. Given how similar they are it seems reasonable. I could see it working two ways.
1. The user inputs a liquid level, a liquid density, and the pressure at the top of the liquid. (this method is likely overly complicated)
2. Or the user specifies a place where the pressure funciton starts and then the function based on a variable. So for hydrostatic pressure the user would click for the z location of 0 gauge pressure and then put in the P=rho*g*z function and specifies a direction the pressure should go. This would allow not only hydrostatice but also solid loading or any other pressure function.
Thanks!
