I am trying to export pressure as a ASCII file to import into structural analysis for a pipe. When I do, the pressure shows up as a compressive force instead of acting against the tube. How can I change this?

Ensure that you are selecting correct boundary while exporting pressure in Fluent. If you are solving both fluid and solid in Fluent (e.g. CHT analysis), select fluid side boundary to export the pressure on.
