  Hello sir,
  
  I am working on project in which i need to carry out harmonic analysis with moment but i facing error because as per knowledge solid element cannot be rotated. how can simplify the problem in ansys

  That is correct (3D elements do not have rotation dof).
  
  Typically one uses constraint equations to apply those (say CERIG or RBE3).
  
  See this video (below) where they apply a remote force.
  
  To apply a moment (100 Nm) to a remote point called remotepone (under details, definition, and APDL name) you need to probably insert something like this as a command snippet (F command):
  
  F,remotepone,MX,100
  
  Or just use a moment and pick that remote point (See below)
