Hi,
in order to accomplish that, you can perform the same operation manually, and then open the commandX.tcl (X=1,2,3...).
It will show you the commands necessary, and then you can adapt them to your needs.
To create a force in a particular node, you can use this:
*createentity loadcols includeid=0 name="forces_loadcollector"; #creates a load collector with name 'forces_loadcollector'
*createmark nodes 1 1863012 ;#select the node #1863012
*loadcreateonentity_curve nodes 1 1 1 111 222 333 0 0 415.32397 0 0 0 0 0 ;# creates a force of components 111, 222, 333 (x,y,z) and total magnitude 415.3....0
