      LINK180 is not rigid element. Its section behavior can be rigid. If You want rigid behavior Use MPC Beam.
      I suppose Your solution will be similar to using Workbench Mechanical built in Remote Point loads - Remote Displacement,R Force,R Moment, R Mass. connected by deformable manner.


      By some small effort You can reuse Your APLD macro and connect edge with free-standing Remote Point in Workbench Mechanical.
