Getting Directional deformation from a remote force

  I am doing some analysis on a hip stem. And I want to apply a force to the center of the head. In the scoping method for geometry selection, when I select vertex so I can pick just the point at the center, it is unable to do that selection. So I used a remote force and selected the top face so the force will be applied at the center of that geometry. I don't know if doing it that way has the same effect as having a point force at the center.
  
  I'll like my output to be directional deformation, specifically that at the point where the force is applied but I am unable to select that point still. So my question is how can i select that midpoint so the results I get is the directional deformation at the point were the force is applied? I was able to select a node at the center I don't know if that is appropriate.
  
  find below a picture which kind off shows what I'm talking about. You'll see the force acting at the center of the scoped face.

  Please Click on the Remote Force and promote the point to a remote point. You can then do the same and create a Named Selection which is right at the middle of that surface.
  
  You can use the Named Selection in the directional deformation evaluation as shown:
