i want to analysis a plate problem with uniformly distributed load by meshless collocation method. the unit of uniformly distributed load in the equation of plate is (N/m^2) but the unit of the applied force on per node is (N), i want to know what force is applied to each node?

Use the principle of virtual work. The virtual work of the applied pressure for a virtual displacement MUST be equal to the virtual work of the nodal forces for the same virtual displacement.
