Hi Joe.

Thank you for this tip. As I recently discovered after importing the
model into Ansys Classic, the forces were transformed to pressures - so
the sfscale-command is the right one to use.

Problem is solved, thanks for you attention.

For tabulated parameters Ansys help suggests *TOPER-command. I will
remind this for later.

One more question: how do I get to know the variable/parameter name WB
creates - for me they look quite unconvenient like "_loadvari2856z"?

WB creates Surface Effect Elements and then puts the forces onto those:

/com,*********** Define Force Using Surface Effect Elements ***********

_loadvari2856z(2,0) = 1.

_loadvari2856z(2,1) = 3.80338028979552
