    Looks like you have applied load (Force & moment) along +/- X direction.You applied it on centre node of two rigids. In real life case if load is acting on both sides then it is right way to apply load.

    Hi Nitish,

     

    Application of BCs, loads, etc... depends on your own interpretation :)/emoticons/default_smile.png' srcset='/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x' title=':)' width='20'>
