  I don't see an option for this, but I will consult with my team to see if it is possible.

  You can apply a load that varies along a length using the function "Position.x". You can also substitute ".y" or ".z". This should be entered in the field where you would normally enter the numerical value.
  
  For example, 1000[kg/m^3] * 9.8 [m/s^2] * Position.z to define the calculation for ρ * g * h
  
  You just have to make sure the units resolve to the correct form. You will then be asked to define a reference frame. In most cases the Global Reference Frame should be fine.
