Defining variable load for multiple time steps

      Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to implement different variable loads on a specific axis for multiple time intervals. By applying the load in tables, what I need is to inform Ansys Mechanical that there are several tables for different time intervals, but I'm not sure if this is possible or if there is something equivalent.

       

      In many tutorials, I have seen how to implement uniform loads over various time intervals, but that is not my case. Considering pressure, I need the table to account for x and P varying with x, for several t.

      Hey It is possible to apply a spatially varying load. But there are some limitations to the load types you can apply it with.

      Check out the above link to know about supported load types and how to apply them.

      Here is the help link for pressure load varying spatially in particular.

      You can use multiple time steps with these loads to successfully simulate loads that vary with 'x' and with 't'.

      Thanks.
