I am trying to apply a moment on a surface of a solid body. I have read and tried a few things but still get the error below:

ERROR
Load "Moment(1)" has an incompatible mesh.
SUGGESTION: Change the mesh or the load.

The edit suggested in the post below did not solve the problem for me.

Does anyone have any advice?

Nodes of solid elements don’t have rotational degrees of freedom so you will need some workaround. Usually this is done using rigid link that connects the nodes on the surface of a solid body with additional reference node to which a moment can be applied.

apply the moment as a couple. Build a RBE spider to attach to a few nodes around where you want to apply the moment. This is what FEAway is describing

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
