ansys workbench

hi I am learning to use ansys workbench 11, I have a problem with the concentrated forces, i.e. I can apply it and the simulation works, so far everything ok. My problem is I can't put it where I want it. or given a square plate, he applies me to the plate center if I don't want it there as I do??? is there no possibility of inserting it by Cartesian coordinates?

generally a force has the coordinates of application. change those!

I see that on workbench I can insert components of the fx fy fz force but not the x y z coordinates of the point of application this is the problem, I can apply the force going to click with the mouse on the element but this is all purely qualitative, I wanted a quantitative system understand my problem? or perhaps I did not understand your answer also because I did not find the way to immetere the coordinates

You're tricking yourself.
The force distributed it to you all over the surface.
if you want concentrated you have to use the "vertice" selection tool and go to select a top-type point (i.e. where two or more lines converge).

Thank you very kind, so if I have to apply it to the center of the plate I create maybe the diagonals and I add it to the intersection of the two.
