We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

You can scope a Force Reaction and a Moment Reaction to a Surface (Construction Geometry) to get the force and moment at an arbitrary location without creating contact or a joint.  You will need to set Nodal Forces output to Yes.  For the Moment Reaction, specify Orientation to the coordinate system name used to locate the Surface and Summation to Orientation System.
