How to add force component values in the form of expressions using python code?

Hi, I am trying to add forces at multiple points. Its tedious to add them manually. So I started defining markers at those points, by writing my script in python window. I referred to "Motionview Python Reference Guide". All my required markers were created using the script. Now I am trying to add forces at those same points. But I am unable to find the syntax to add expressions for force components. I already referred to Force documentation in "Motionview Python Reference Guide". I can't find syntax to add force component expressions. Altair team should have mentioned it clearly in the documentation.

Can anyone please help me with this issue? 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nithin,

    Could you try this example? 

    force1.fy.expr= '`sin(2*pi*time)`'
