Definition of loads on multiple targets in simulation

Definition of loads on multiple targets in simulation

In simulation, when a structual load is applied to multiple targets, it is not clear whether

a) the load is applied to each selected target, or

b) the load is divided into multiple targets.

 

A simple test shows that it is case b).

In the attached figure, 1 N was applied to 2 selected surfaces, and the deformation is 8E-3 mm.

If 1 N is applied to only one of the surfaces, the deformation is again 8E-3 mm.

To apply 1 N on each surface, I had to apply "2 N" on 2 selected surfaces.

 

Intuitiviely, a) is more natural to me, but is b) the default in Finite Element Analysis software?
