Please, can anyone help and explain to me how I can simulate a hinge axis boundary condition in MSC Patran.

Example:
Let's look on it as a 2D problem.
Beam with a hinge axis on one end and two force in opposite directions on the other.
Am looking a way to simulate a case with a M=0 in a hinge axis position of course and let the beam find it's own balanced position as a result of two opposite forces.

Hope for a quick answer, it's a bit urgent for me to find out how.
