Understanding how pressure is applied

  Hi!
  
  I'm simulating a model with pressure loads.But to apply loads,I cannot select a volume(which is understood).But I want my pressure load to be distributed across the entire volume of the structure.
  
  So I wanted to ask,if I apply pressure load on one of the surfaces, of say a cube, does the pressure act on the entire cube or just one of the surfaces?

  Hi Shivani,
  
  Pressure is applied to one or more faces of the body. The material of the body supports that pressure by deformation, which creates stress in the material and the entire model finds an equilibrium state (for a Static Structural model).
