How to calculate the spatially variable pressure WX2

...

Knowing the width of the application surface equals 1.68in and the length of the post equals 36ft, we solve for the linearly increasing slope value which defines the variable pressure when multiplied by a distance.

...

The video below demonstrates how to configure the connections and apply a point force, uniformily distributed load, and a spatially variable pressure.
