I have a simple 110mm long cantilever beam, created in Onshape, and used the technique described here to split the upper and lower faces 10mm from the origin to allow the fixed constraint to be applied on those faces to simulate a clamping force. I also defined 2 additional data points at 40mm and 7…

HI @irving , "I need to apply a weight of 1kg (Fz = -9.81N) at a point on the top surface 90mm from the clamp, or 100mm from the origin. But I can’t seem to find a combination of distance/face that works. I either get no moment, if I choose face_0 in red above, or, seemingly the wrong moment in that…
