Hi
We need to do this in 2 load steps inside a single static system.
Step1: apply moment and no force
Step2: keep moment and add force.
See here how to define multiple load steps

One can also do it all in one load step, with a tabular force with a moment being ramped say from 0-1 sec. while force is zero during that time, and then the force is ramped up from 1-2 seconds while moment is kept constant during that time.

All the best
