There is a very interesting example, called "O-RING SEAL WITH FLUID PRESSURE", on Ansys Innovation Courses.

 

 

In this example, the fluid pressure is applied on the O-ring only (with orange in the picture above). What if I need to apply the pressure onto the walls as well? (with green in the above picture). Could you please indicate the way the APDL commands should be modified?

What changes in APDL commands in case the model becomes three dimensional? Like this:

Will the name selection for the "starting point" stay the same as in the 2D case? And just changing the "pressure" name selection from an edge (2D case) to a surface (3D case)?  I have seen other 3D examples where the "starting point" is not specifically mentioned in the APDL commands.

Best regards,

Hi,

Please refer to the following link from Ansys Help which might be useful for both 2D and 3D case:
