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'>

@Rahul R yea i have applied load along -ve X dierction and a moment along +ve X
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.
