Previously, at this [threads](https://prepomax.discourse.group/t/units-of-spring-stiffness/45) I do mistake also when testing of plate rested on elastic spring foundation.

Perhaps an option to select between forces assign to individual nodes or group of nodes by distributing could be better and useful feature.
