P
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Uniformly distributed pressure load on element faces, including those imported using the PRESS co-simulation field ID. When the pressure is defined using DLOAD, the variable name is changed automatically to PDLOAD.

HP
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Hydrostatic pressure load on element faces. When the pressure is defined using DLOAD, the variable name is changed automatically to HPDLOAD.

TRNOR
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Normal component (component along face normal) of traction load on element faces.

TRSHR
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Shear component (component along face tangent) of traction load on element faces.

FLUXS
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Uniformly distributed heat fluxes on element faces.

FILMCOEF
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Reference film coefficient value on element faces.

SINKTEMP
.dat: no   .fil: no   .odb Field: yes   .odb History: no  

Reference sink temperature on element faces.
