Hello hhusker,

Thanks, just so I understand, you are not able to use a nodal force scoped to a named selection of nodes which can be any region of your model? Maybe I am missing something, and if so, my apologies. Regarding Full and MSUP not matching, have you extracted sufficient modes, and If your unit force is concentrated, you may wish to turn on residual vectors. There is a good video on that topic here https://courses.ansys.com/index.php/courses/topics-in-harmonic-response-analysis/lessons/how-to-utilize-the-residual-vector-method-lesson-2/

Thank you

Sean
