'remote force' in ansys apdl

[miczan]

hello to all
My question is: in ansys mechanical apdl exists a command similar to 'remote force' (which is present in ansys workbench) ? in case there is an alternative method to solve the problem?

thanks in advance

Let's talk about the rbe3 command

Actually workbench manages the thing a little differently, as it creates on the surface where the remore force a mesh of elements counts174, creates a pilot knot at the point of application of force and creates mpc that connect the pilot node to the surface.
