Hydrostatic Pressure in Simulation

[JD Mather]

I have a large open-top vessel modeled as midplane surface. Fixed at top edge. How do I apply a hydrostatic pressure for the liquid?

The version you and I have are different. I believe that is the Student Version right? If I were to try and do that I would need to split the faces at a certain amount(every 12" or so) and apply a different pressure to each face. It would provide the same level of accurace as a large mesh setting

Yes, student version. Your solution is exactly what one of my students came up with - but I was hoping there was an easier way.

well really if you apply the max pressure based on depth of the tank wouldnt that be a good FOS? I mean it should be directly proprotional to the max pressure unless there are some extranous other inputs like an extremely tall tank(miles) or high speeds involved.
