Defining a Load on a Surface

Hello everyone,

I'm currently stuck on a small problem, let me explain.
On the following surface:

I would like to exert a force in the center with a diameter of 300 mm to simulate the mass of an object or a human, the problem is that I don't know how to do it.

The only possible solution I could find is this:

But it is only a force at a precise point and not on a surface.

Would it be possible to illuminate my light?

Thank you in advance!

Hello

If my memory is good for simulation, make a sketch of the desired shape and then create a dividing line. This will generate the surface on which to apply the effort.

To complete: you must also create the support surfaces in the same way (dividing line / surfaces)...

So I tried but I made the piece by converting it to " Sheet Metal " and now I have a huge hole in the middle of my piece ahahah

Uh, the separation line does not remove material. It delimits a surface according to the shape drawn.

Yes I agree it looks like this:

I won't know how to explain it but I managed to solve the problem! In any case, I thank you for your speed!
