Step 9: Apply Boundary Conditions
Right-click on Static Structural (A5). Choose Insert and then Fixed Support
from the context menu. Apply this support to the bottom surface of the vase.

Step 10: Apply Loads
Right-click on Static Structural (A5). Choose Insert and then Hydrostatic
Pressure. In the Details of “Hydrostatic Pressure”, Ctrl-click the side wall
and the bottom surface of the vase, and apply the two faces to the Geometry
selection. Change the Shell Face to Bottom, because the hydrostatic pressure

is applied to the inside of the shell surface. Enter 1000 kg/m for Fluid Density.
2
Change the Define By selection to Components, and enter 9.8 m/s for the Y
Component of Hydrostatic Acceleration. Enter 180e-3 m in the field of Y
Coordinate of the Free Surface Location.
