Static Structural is the right analysis system for this.
The boundary conditions figure is a section view, I assume, and you are going to use a symmetry boundary condition to do a half model, is that your plan?
In Ansys, use a Fixed Support on one end and apply a Moment to the other end. I expect the rotational velocity is small and would have a negligible effect on the stress so can be ignored.
