Sketch doesn't show up in simulation tab? I want point load instead of distributed load

Hello, 

 

In Static Stress FEA, I wish to model a point load in instead of a distributed load. The part I am doing my analysis on is a cylindrical shaft. I have created a split body and sketch of the center of the shaft, where I want the force to be. But when I got into the simulation tab, my sketch isn't there. How can I apply a load to this part? I have attached files here. Thank you.

How do I apply force at one point instead of the entire rod?

Hi @rzhenD6T4M, I don't use simulation all that often, but I think I found the solution. If you use the target limit the load will focus to the size you specify.

That works! But in the future is there a way to define a sketch so I can specify the exact point?
