Good morning friends, hope that all of you are fine 

I want to ask about remote point in workbench, cause I'm receiving some errors which I will show you here, actually what I'm trying to do is applying three types of loading on one end of a cylinder while the other end is fixed. 

I used remote point, cause the all researches in this area use it, so, I have to apply tension, bending and torsion to the same cylinder end. I tried to use single remote point and I linked the all three types of loading and I received a message that using more than type of loading could cause ignoring to one of them ( the loading types). Then, I created three different remote points but the all three connected to the same cylinder end, and run the analysis and I got two messages showing below :

 

finally here is the cylinder and the three remote points, the green end  where I linked the three remote points, while the other end is fixed. 

 

Could you please suggest me a solution for this case , and thanks to all in advance

It's best to apply tension, bending and torsion all to a single remote point. The single remote point is the only object scoped to that one face. Use a Remote Force to apply the Tension and select the Remote Point you created.  Apply a Moment, select the Remote Point and Define By Components to apply the Torsion and Bending moments in the correct component rows.

You will not get any warning message in this way.

You wouldn't get any warning messages if you just applied the force and moment to the face directly and used no remote point.

Thank peteroznewman for your answer, 

actually I tried to attach all the three types of loading to the single point of loading, but I got this message:

 

this is the details of each one :

 

 

I tried also to apply the all loading types without remote point but the error messages still same !

I think I misunderstand you, could you please explain it to me if I'm wrong .. thanks again

You understood. One difference is I combined the two Moments into one.

Does that make the warning go away?  Which Release are you using?

 Another difference is I don't have a Fracture Branch in my model.
