Topic: Axisymmetry - edge load units?

I am using Axisymm3d elements to model an axisymmetric structure. It is loaded on the upper edge by load which is, in the real situation, a constant per square meter (53382 N/m^2). What is the unit of ConstantEdgeLoad when used inAxisymmetry? Is this load specification correct?

ConstantEdgeLoad 2 loadTimeFunction 1 Components 2 0.0 -53382 loadType 3 ndofs 2 csType 0

Thanks!

Hi.
I just checked in the code, and as far as I can see it should be force per area.
