Offset Point Loading setup Query

Hello, i was wondering if someone can please give me some advice on a particular simulation i am trying to run.  on the cover attached, i am required to have the cover withstand 20Kn on a 250mm circular point load in the centre which i can achieve using the split line.  as well as testing in the centre, the cover would be in an assembly with the same cover and requires the same load to be applied centre between the two covers.  i have done a similar split line as seen attached and looking to know, do i have to make an assembly and simulate them both together or can i split the load.

Please can someone share some advice on how to do this and what they would recommend.

Many thanks
