 +===== Hydrostatic Load ===== 
 +<WRAP group> 
 +<WRAP half column> 
 +A “Hydrostatic” load is a spatially varying pressure as experienced by the walls of a pool due to the weight of the water pressing against them. The pressure at any point depends on the density of the water, increasing from a value of zero at the water surface to a maximum at the deepest point. 
 + 
 +A Hydrostatic load requires three inputs: 
 +  * the geometry of the surfaces where the load is applied 
 +  * a point on the surface of the fluid (fluid depth is assumed in the -Z direction) 
 +  * specific gravity of the fluid (dimensionless, SG = 1 for water)
