For a general section beam element with eccentricity, if the output point is set at the centroid position z=-1, will the line load be loaded at the centroid position z=-1 or the beam element position z=0 on the diagram?
 
Why don't you simply apply the load as torque on you beam?

Example, 1kips*1"= 1kip-in. Then you apply 1kip-in torque along your beam.
