Hi Armin,

thats correct, the load is a force and its origin is at two specified surfaces. The direction or "target" of the load is the upper square that you can see on the left hand side of the picture (its under the black line and hard to see) and therefore the direction of the load doesn't change currently (which is not what i want). Using a pressure and ensuring its normal to the surface would be a better approximation but sadly is still not my desired load case, especially for large deflections. 

Large deflection is turned on.
