I am doing a project which required to model a wing as a beam model and use lumped mass to represent the mass of the structure.
Since the lumped mass is not falling on the flexural axis of the wing, which is the beam modeled, the lumped mass are offset from the beam. how can i couple the mass to the beam in Abaqus?

So far, i have made lumped mass using the point mass function in property module, but i have no idea how to couple it to the beam model.

The related problem is attached.

Thank you.
