Moments and Forces output of Flexible bodies is zero?

shuai.wang
Hi, Everyone.
 
I met a problem of outputting responses of a flexible body.
 
I just use a cantilever beam as a flexible body in ADAMS, and applying a moment load at one side, the 'total force on point' and 'total torque on point' output of mass center marker are all Zero. I checked the displacement is correct, but have no idea about the forces and moments.
 
Does anybody know the problem, I am a beginner of ADAMS and would be really appreciated for your kind help. Thank you very much!
