 Pressure and shear boundary conditions can be applied using special finite elements defined on the boundary of the mesh. The geometry of these elements are lines in 2D corresponding to the boundary edges of the elements of the 2D mesh.
 In 3D, pressure elements are triangles or quads, depending of the shape of the facets of the elements of the mesh near the boundary.
-As any finite element, their definition requires an ''ElementProperty'' object and an ''Interaction'' (''LoadingInteraction'').
+As any finite element, their definition requires an ''[[doc:user:elements:general:def_element_properties|ElementProperties]]'' object and an ''Interaction'' (''LoadingInteraction'') and a ''Material''.
-Unlike contact finite element, there is no "material" associated to this kind of element.
-The ''ElementProperty'' contains the type of element and the values for the pressure and the shear, as well as functions defining the time evolution of these values.
+The ''[[doc:user:elements:general:def_element_properties|ElementProperties]]'' contains the type of element and integration parameters (number of integration points, stiffness computation method, ...).
+The ''PressureMaterial'' contains the values for the pressure and the shear, as well as functions defining the time / space evolution of these values.
 These elements should not be mixed with [[doc:user:conditions:dead_loads|dead loads]]. In most cases, pressure elements should be chosen over dead loads because:
