First you have to surface coat your solid surafce with very thin shell
elements. Such that they offer negligible stiffness on the surface. Now
use surafce interaction between these two surafces. Use a predetermined
deformation on the thin shells depending on the pressure load. Now are
ready to use CPRESS in abaqus post. But be sure to "set,tickmark=on". In
fact this is a round about way but I cannot show you my input file due to
company policy. Only ANSYS has a straight option to get surface pressure.
The algorithm is given in ANSYS tutorial. However you can always find
surface pressure in I-DEAS and ABAQUS following the above procedure. Thank
you for your interest in this discussion.
