Comments
- Pressure gauges can be defined by:
- A node using a node identifier (node_ID > 0), or
- A shell element (shell_ID) and a distance (DIST). In this case node_ID must be equal to 0.
- Pressure gauges have a few restrictions:
- Only 4-node shells can be used for shell_ID
- For Coupled Euler Lagrange interface only - shells (shell_ID) must be used with a distance (DIST) greater than interface TYPE18 gap
- For Finite Volume Method only - nodes (node_ID) must be used
