First create a new Coordinate System. I renamed it to add for gravity. Use Global Coorinates for the Origin, then click on the RX button in the Coordinate Systems toolbar and type an angle to Rotate X.



Click on Static Structural, on the Environment toolbar, click Inertial, Standard Earth Gravity.  In the Details window, change the Coordinate System to the one you just created and renamed.  You can pick which Direction you want.
