nSince you have built the three models, you can evaluate the difference in the results. You can show the Force and Moment going out each beam end.nRemote Forces are used to transfer Forces and Moments into a structure that has had a potion of the structure, which is of no concern, cut off to save modeling time. The area of concern must be distant from the cut surfaces to allow Saint-Venant's principle to reduce the stress disturbance introduced at the cut to an insignificant value before it gets close to the area of concern. That is about two widths of the cut face. In your example, the holes are less than two diameters away from the fixed support, so it would not be appropriate to use a Remote Force in this case.n
