Stress Analysis Load Question

Say you are inputing force loads and you select two parallel that arn't connected and type in a force magnitude of 500. If the 500 split between those faces and each face reiceves 250 or do both faces recieve 500?

The force will be distributed proportional to the total area on which it acts. In your case, if both faces have the same area then both faces will have 250, not 500.

If you are not sure - it should be trivially simple to set up a test problem.
As you get into analysis verify everything.
