  Can someone outline the steps to apply a moment to a deformable body in Workbench LS-DYNA without the use of command snippets? It seems it is not possible; you must make use of some rigid body connected to the deformable body and then use the Rigid Body Tools to apply a moment. Is this limitation correct?
  
  In standalone LS-DYNA is the recommended approach to apply a moment to a deformable body to use *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION as is described in this example?

  Hello,
  Indeed, *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION can be used to transfer a point load (force or moment) to the set of independent nodes. It seems that *CONSTRAINED_INTERPOLATION is not available in WB LS-DYNA yet. However, it can be added by using the Keyword Manager.
  The Keyword Manager is a Beta feature added in R2022.2. To activate it, please follow these steps.
