Importing pressure of sides of a 3D blade to a 2D surface in ANSYS static strucural
 
Hi,

I have a rotating blade with a pressure distribution on each side.

In static structural I have a shell element (1 surface with 1 direction vector) (this is necessary for my structural model due to very thin geometry)

So when I import the 2 pressures I can't assign direction to them.

so the resultant pressure is simply the sum of the magnitudes - the direction is ignored.

Anybody know a way around this? I'm really stuck with this, thanks.
