Need help applying a concentrated force (units)

Need help applying a concentrated force (units)

Need help applying a concentrated force (units)

(OP)
Trying to create a concentrated force Load in CAE. I select a point on my model that I believe is associated with a node. The size of the model is in mm. I would like to apply a force in 3 directions (CF1: -880 Newtons, CF2: 1726N, CF3: 540N). I converted these numbers to -880000 kgmm/s^2, 17260000, 540000, respectively. I ran the model, but the displacements are 0.002mm, where intuitively, it should be close to 2mm. Is there something wrong with the units I have entered?
