FORCE card is not being exported

Hello,

Normal case:
First, a force is defined on a geometric point in HyperMesh. Thus, the force will be allocated to the current load collector as a 'geometry object' in Model Browser. After exporting of the input file (a FORCE card is written), the force appears in Model Browser in the load collector as a 'geometry object' as well as an 'FEM object'.

My model:
I have this kind of forces defined on points but they will not be written to the input file. They appear in HyperMesh as 'geometry objects'. I have tried different export options (all/custom/displayed) but even if I select only the force collector to be exported, the FORCE cards will not be written. This is the only thing that will be exported of the load collector called 'Gasloads':

'
$$------------------------------------------------------------------------------$
$$ HyperMesh Commands for loadcollectors name and color information $
$$------------------------------------------------------------------------------$
$HMNAME LOADCOL 1'Gasloads'
$HWCOLOR LOADCOL 1 29
$$
'

Any idea what I am doing wrong? The forces are definitely still there in HyperMesh, because I see the force arrows on the display. And after export the forces will not appear as 'FEM objects' in the Model Browser as would happen in 'Normal case'.
