how to apply the direction in which i have to apply accelerating force using grav card.what does N1,N2,N3 refer when we edit grav card.
N1,N2,N3 represents the x,y,z vector components
For instance enter N1=0, N2=0, N3= -1 to define gravity in z direction
do i have to apply a different load step for gravity force or the already present load step will do for the same

To combine gravity with a force
You will need to create another loadcollector, with LOAD card image.
Choose LOAD_Num_Set =2. Select the two load collectors (and assign the corresponding scale factors for the loads).
Use this load collector in the loadstep.
