The problem is that this area and also it&#8217;s nodes are shared with the bigger volume. nI tried to apply the surface load with SFA and SF, like this:nASEL,S,AREA,,8nSFA,ALL,,PRES,100nBut the load is not applied. It only works on areas that only belong to one volume, but not to this one.nDoes anyone have an idea how it might work?nThank you in advance,nMarlenenn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51690","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-apply-load","topic-tag-applying-load","topic-tag-loading","topic-tag-pressure","topic-tag-surface-load"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["23963"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["*\u0002?\t?\u0000p,\u00181b?v??\u0003"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["999"],"_bbp_subscription":["240960"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["51690"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","166291"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["140627"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["140627"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-01-30 13:24:34"]},"test":"msteggewentz"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51690\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
