  Hi All,
  So i have to add a 4000N force over the selected surface. I'm currently able to identify the surface and select the magnitude, but I have problems with the force direction. The code I wrote is the following:

  Hi
  
  To use these directions just use the record option inside the scripting console, and see how it works.
  For instance to define it in the x direction would be:
  
  threadForce = ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].AddForce
  threadForce_scoping = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
  
  threadForce_scoping.Ids = [4]
  
  threadForce.DefineBy = LoadDefineBy.Components
  
  threadForce.Location = threadForce_scoping
  
  threadForce.XComponent.Output.DiscreteValues=[Quantity(400,"N")]
