*FLUID DENSITY
Specify hydrostatic fluid density.

This option is used to define the reference fluid density for fluid cavities. It is applicable only for hydraulic and pneumatic fluids and should not be used for user-defined fluids. The *FLUID DENSITY option can be used only in conjunction with the *FLUID BEHAVIOR option or the *FLUID PROPERTY option.

Optional parameters when the *FLUID DENSITY option is used in conjunction with the *FLUID PROPERTY option: 

PRESSURE

Set this parameter equal to the value of the reference gauge pressure, . It is relevant only for a pneumatic fluid. The default is PRESSURE=0.

TEMPERATURE

Set this parameter equal to the value of the reference temperature, , for the temperature scale in use. It is relevant only for a pneumatic fluid. The default is TEMPERATURE=0.
