Krishna,



Thanks for the reply. I did the analysis with Keyopt(2) set to 1, and a
moment load applied to the pilot node. I get the appropriate stress and
displacements, but am surprised to see that the reaction moment shows up as
zero. I am unable to understand this behavior. If one of you knowledgeable
guys can tell me why this is the case, I would appreciate it.



Regards,
