You have to divide the total load by the number of nodes only for the concentrated force loading: [Don't apply concentrated force load to surfaces - #6 by supreeth](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/dont-apply-concentrated-force-load-to-surfaces/1271/6)

But you also have rigid body constraint on that face (I can’t check the file now) ?
