I am new to using simulation and trying to analyze a nozzle in a 2:1 head configuration. The end of the nozzle is subjected to various forces and moments due to piping.
There is no issues with modeling the forces but I am not sure how to apply the moments. Currently I have treated them as forces that are a specific distance from the point of loading (i.e. moment = force x distance). Is there a way I can apply the moments at the nozzle to shell juncture? Or must I continue to apply a force at a specific distance to simulate a moment?

Thanks!
