Thank you for the additional infos.

Now I got it how to use the table and the equation.

> Often we want to prescribe values of loads depending on direction. Let us consider an example. Suppose we want to apply pressure which is dependent on z direction. The following description will help: 1.SimScale allows users to prescribe loads in three ways: direct value, table upload and a formula. 2.If it is a single value e.g. Pressure = 1MPa, this can directly be prescribed in the value field. 3.The second way is via table upload. In this case Pressure can depend on a single v…

The only open point is following:  
When use the input field for a single value e.g. pressure → clear  
What is the meaning of a value in this field if I upload a table? It doesn’t have a meaning or is this a scaling factor?
