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

[ST04]

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?

Hi flash thanks for the response
yes it can be
but I'm concerned about stress excreted by stiffeners on column face

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

I am abaqus user. In abaqus i have used coupling constraint to descript the kenematic or distribution force on section . Have coupling constraint in Ansys?.
