For anyone looking through this thread in the future

This is the code adapted to componentwise force import (in this case Y direction)

import csv

filePath = 'filepath\\force.csv'

timesteps = [] #Create empty list to store timestep values

loads = [] #Create empty list to store load values

with open(filePath, 'r') as csvFile:

csvRead = csv.reader(csvFile, delimiter=',')

next(csvRead) #Skip first line (assumed headers)

for row in csvRead:

timesteps.append(row[0]) #Populate list with first column's values

loads.append(row[1]) #Populate list with second column's values

#Configure lists

timeUnit = '[sec]' #Timestep unit

loadUnit = '[N]' #Load unit

timesteps = [str(time) + timeUnit for time in timesteps] #Convert values to strings and append unit

loads = [str(load) + loadUnit for load in loads] #Convert values to strings and append unit

#Create load

analysis_104 = DataModel.GetObjectById(207)

force_207 = DataModel.GetObjectById(207)

selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)

selection.Ids = [23]

force_207.Location = selection

force_207.DefineBy = LoadDefineBy.ComponentY

force_207.YComponent.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = [Quantity(time) for time in timesteps]

force_207.YComponent.Output.DiscreteValues = [Quantity(load) for load in loads]
