I would like to apply a force to an area of a shell. I have a group of elements within the mesh defined for the area, so would like the force uniformly applied across these. Previously I have used FORCE_ARETE to apply force on a line, but I can’t find the equivalent when the group I want to load is an area. I tried FORCE_FACE, but this appears to only be for solid 3D meshes, not for shells. I think I could use FORCE_NODALE, but then I would have to work out the area of each element to calculate the correct force to apply to it?
try FORCE_COQUE
PRES_REP if it is perpendicular.
Ah ha! Perfect, thank you 
@tpa Thank you, yes, I had already found that but wanted the option to apply the force at my angle of choosing, Jean Pierre’s answer is correct for my case.
