  Mostafa,
  
  You can create named selections of nodes and apply nodal forces if that would help:

  Mostafa,
  
  This can be done through the SFE command. I've selected element 12 below and applied a pressure.
  
  Hope this helps,

  Thanks sandeep
  But in case of pressure load applying on curved area, i think its difficult to select all nodes.
  Is there any other way?

  Hi,
  
  You should be able to select the nodes using either the geometrical selection or by even using the Worksheet, which is a more powerful way.
