We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Use Remote Displacement, behavior = Rigid at the Fore end and another one at the Aft end.

On the Aft end, promote to a Remote Point so you can use that to apply the Moment load.

Use a Remote Displacement at the intersection of centerline and bottom to set X=0 leaving the others Free, though I don't see why you wouldn't simply add X=0 to the Fore end Remote Displacement instead of leaving that free and making this separate Remote Displacement.

Ignore the warning about rigid body motion. These three Remote Displacements provide the correct six constraints to prevent rigid body motion.
