Applying Moment on column, should it be on the section? Ansys WB

(OP)
Hi
I have a cantilever column subject to moment, I am concerned about the bottom part, so I just have a column section of 1 meter long (Total length is 10 m).

Should I define the moment to be applied at the top of the 1 meter section?
Or should I select the whole column surfaces and apply that moment to?

Regards

Can't this be done with a hand calculation? Can you post a free body diagram of your problem?

Any way, regarding this thread I believe that it should be applied to the section surface.
